Hi Alastair,

I've posted this at various times since 2004, but I've checked this 
out repeatedly and the best units are the NEXTO devices. They've now 
got a US distributor, but they've had Aussie distributors for a lot 
longer, and I've bought my units from them.

The NEXTO devices are the fastest, allow the most transfers per 
charge, and are about as compact as you can get. On my units I've 
gotten nearly 100Gb of card transfers per battery charge. Others have 
gotten better, but none have exceeded them. I still use them whenever 
a laptop isn't practical.
