Apple (or some third party) would have to develop a FireWire reader (that can adapt to the myriad storage media: CF, SM, SD, MemoryStick, etc.) to plug-in to the iPod.
I remember seeing a device similar to the Mindstor that featured a built-in LCD screen so that you could preview downloaded pictures on the road as well. I forget what the device was called, but both <a href="http://www.dpreview.com" target="_blank">DPReview</a> and <a href="http://www.steves-digicams.com" target="_blank">Steve's Digicams</a> reviewed it when it came out.
In any case, I agree with firehc that the ability to transfer pictures from memory cards to the iPod would be a great feature.

a storage media for digital camera on the road
a laptop is good but not as handy as iPod
it's a potential area for iPod to explore other than PDA

As a lark, I plugged in my Lexar CF FireWire reader into my iPod: no dice.
I think all iPod needs is to add a USB port!
iPod - a portable MP3 player, harddrive and digial photos storage on the road all in your palm...coollllllll
Anyone works in APPLE here?
<strong>yeah, something like Mindstar would be perfect for iPod.

Here are a couple of other sites :

They're pretty much the same product, just different colors is all
