Browsing the circulars in the newspaper this morning, I noticed what seems like a pretty decent deal.
OfficeDepot is offering the SmartDisk FotoChute FCD20, a portable 20GB receptacle for digital camera files (and anything else that can be transferred via its USB2.0 port), for $70 after rebate (valid for purchases between Jan. 22nd and 28th, 2006).
Here's the link to the OfficeDepot webpage. The website still says $169.99, but the flyer said they were giving an additional $30 off in "instant savings."
The reviews I've read seem to indicate that it works pretty well as a file sherpa, but it doesn't do some things that other, more expensive devices do (like play MP3s, allow you to view photos on a little display, provide memory card slots, etc.).
I don't have one of these, and probably won't run out and get one, but for those of you looking for cheap, small file storage or about to take a long trip and don't want to stock up on flash media for your camera, this might be a decent deal.
