Shutterbug has reviewed Epson’s P-4000 80GB Multimedia Storage Viewer and here’s what the reviewer, Joe Farace thought. “When loading images I always used the AC adapter, but when viewing used the built-in lithium ion batteries and the P-4000 never let me down. The P-4000 may not be the perfect tool for a week-long backpacking trip in the high country, but a laptop needs to be recharged, too, and is lots heavier.”

Epson’s P-4000 80GB Multimedia Storage Viewer has been reviewed at PC Magazine and here’s conclusion. “The incredibly sharp screen makes the P-4000 our top choice as a photo viewer, even though it is a bit chunky - not to mention very expensive, at $699.99. Viewing photos is the only reason to buy the P-4000; for full-featured portable media player features, you’ll definitely want to look elsewhere.”

Wolverine’s MVP 60GB multimedia (photo) storage device has been reviewed at Digital Camera Review and here’s the conclusion. “The Wolverine MVP 60GB provides a nice way to backup your digital media. The built-in card reader reads all of the major media card formats so it also provides a way to free up the space on your memory cards if you don’t have another computer with you. Then, when you’re ready to show off your images, you can plug it into a TV and let em rip. The Wolverine device provides some nice features like RAW image viewing, display of EXIF data, and joystick navigation that set it apart from other devices that I’ve seen. At $320-$350, it’s not cheap, but if you need a device like this, it’s a good option.”

Digital FOCI’s Picture Porter has been reviewed at Optimize Magazine and here is a summary. “If you don’t have a laptop or you aren’t taking one with you on vacation and you need a way to backup your images, a device such as the Digital Foci Picture Porter is a good plan. There are many other ways to accomplish this, so it’s up to you to decide on how you want to handle. For example, it may be cheaper to get more memory cards, but you give up being able to view images or perform a backup. The battery life and capacity of the Picture Porter are sufficient to last you a whole trip.
Overall, the Picture Porter is a good solution. You may find other devices that have higher capacities (since you’ll only see 20GB and 40GB) in this model. Operation is simple and intuitive — it won’t take you long to figure out.” [click to continue...]
