I'm looking for a color (good screen) PDA (preferrably Clie or Palm) that has a Compact Flash Slot, and that will allow me to take an "exposed" CF card directly from my Digital Camera, put it into the PDA, and be able to view the JPG's that are on the card right on the PDA.

Is there such an animal?

Thanks,
Barry T

Couldn't you do this with an NX and the new EruWare CF driver?

The NX has a CF slot? (Sorry, I'm not up to date on all the new hardware)

Thank you for directing me to the NX review site.

Now, my final :^) (I hope) question:

Does anyone know if the Clie (using the CF driver from EruWare) would be able to read a jpg file on a CF card taken directly out of a digital camera a inserted into the CF slot on the Clie?

Thanks again.

I'm assuming you could do this with an app like AcidImage or SplashPhoto (which can read native JPGs). However, I haven't had any experience with using a CF card or the driver. Hopefully someone who has can answer your question. You may also want to dig around in the Compact Flash forum. (http://www.cliesource.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=67)
