Added side benefit
Maybe I'm seeing something here that doesn't exist, but Im more excited about a potential side benefit to this device. You see, I have 7 Macs on my home network shared by myself, wife, 3 daughters and a son. we all take digital pictures and load them into, at some point, all of the computers. We have photo sharing turned on, but this is still inconvenient as some of the computers may be turned off or sleeping. It also makes it hard to maintain a unified back up of all pictures. THIS SOLVES THAT PROBLEM. All I have to do now is sync each computer with the iPod photo and take it back to my media center Mac mini in the family room and sync back to that machine.
Don't get me wrong, I love the capability of syncing my camera to the iPod Photo and freeing up the memory, but this added ability (I hope) to sync all of my many different libraries on 7 different machines seals the deal for me.
