I have a 40gb Archos Jukebox Multimedia that I use to transfer files with...I got it with the camera adapter. It's suppose to be 1.3 megapixel, not really the greatest but it's also a camcorder so it's a neat little trick there. I am able to make slideshows of the photos and what have you. It's nice.

not really but i can vouche for my ipod that it really doent perform well in the cold i had mine linked to the aux in of my stereo last winter and it would take quite some time for it to warm up before i could listen to music. probably not a good hd solution

I saw on TV this company who made custom setups for amps and pc's, but they made also this stand for a ipod, you didnt even had to plug it in i think. But that makes it a standalone then, and i dont think ur on that way?

no I think he means just the actual HD not the ipod. People must put bigger ones in do they?

When mini ipod came out a lot of people just bought it to strip the CF out because it was cheaper than buying one, I think it has 10 or 15 Gb

The Ipod mini has a CF 4GB HDD.
The Ipod mini is cheaper than buying the same CF drive retail, so people yank 'em out of the Ipods, then replace it with a larger CF card (512MB or 1GB).
