Can you get an external HDD for XDAII?

[PaulGenovese]

HI,

I've just recently got myself an XDAII and have found that I run out of storage memory easily. Is there an external hard drive available that I'd be able to hook up to the XDAII?

Also, can the XDAII act as a USB host to other peripherals (like an ext HDD or camera)? For example would I be able to download a pic from my camera via the USB to store on the mem card?

I appreciate any advice you can give me!

cheers

nop it's a peripheral itself and that cant be changed
of cause if you buy the backpack and then get the usb CF card it may be able to host

Thanks Rudegar,

I figured as much in regard to the USB host. I'll look into the backpack option though.

Check this out... So far I don't think the unit is shipping. I am hoping it will not disappear into the vaporware albums.

You would of course need a SDIO WiFi card too if you don't have one already.
