Picture Porter eases digital media storage, transfer
Built-in memory card slots copy and archive photos directly from any digital camera card without cumbersome cables, negating the need to bring along a Laptop in order to offload pictures and free up space. A bright color LCD screen views pictures on the go, and Picture Porter provides rotation, zoom, and panning options. Compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems, Picture Porter measures 5.2 x 2.8 x 1.2 inches and weighs 8.6 ounces with the hard drive and battery included. Compatible media formats include CF I/II, MD, SM, MMC, SD Card, miniSD, Memory Stick, MS PRO, MS Duo, and MS PRO Duo. Supported image formats include JPEG, Tiff, BMP, and RAW. Video formats supported are MPEG1, MPEG4, and DivX 5.x.

It is a reasonable price for a target audience and if Apple wanted to it could own this space as well with a tiny margin and give pros no excuse to jump ship.
It needs widget-sized iTunes, iPhoto, Keynote (actually those can be saved at QT), Quicktime and iCal, etc. to make it THE pocket media device for lots of pros.
iPod/iTunes owns the market, Apple can afford to go after some of the other market segments and it won't lose money.
these devices have found a niche because doing anything with photos on a pc is too complicated.
fortunately i have iphoto and don't need any of these!
