Larry, George
Thanks for the replies. I use only CF cards in my Nikons. Maybe I should
hold off till Ipad 2 or Samsung implements Android Honeycomb. In the
meantime I will buy a Kindle (which is cheap!), and continue lugging my
laptop (which admittedly is lighter than a feather, a Sony Z series).
Cheers
Jayanand
