[Leica] CF unload to a usb drive through PDA?

[leeh0 at yahoo.com (Lee)]

Thanks, Bill.  What I try to do is to copy pics
directly from a CF card to an external USB hard drive
using a PDA instead of a PC/notebook.  Some PDAs have
both CF slot and USB connector.  I wonder if a PDA
(e.g. Dell Axim) can act like a PC/notebook.  It'd be
very nice for travel. It requires the PDA acting like
a USB host and I think USB-OTG can do that but am not
sure if any current PDA implemented it.

Thanks.
