A common problem people have when travelling is how to store their digital photos. These days high capacity memory cards can store up to 4 GB which is a popular alternative. However there are some disadvantages with using memory cards. Firstly, if you lose your camera you lose all your photos and generally the bigger the card the more photos you lose. Secondly, once you run out of space on your card you have either buy another card or start deleting your precious memories.

When travelling people also usually carry a MP3 player for those lengthy flights and train journeys. There are a number of popular choices when it comes to MP3 players including IpodIRiver and other brands. Some players have the capability to upload photos directly to them. This feature is handy for travellers because it enables you to store up to 40GB worth of photos on your MP3 player without using a computer.

One MP3 player which has this capability is the IRiver H320 (20 GB) or H340 (40 GB) international version. It is also a fully functional MP3 player with music and video playback and the option to view your photos directly from the player.

What you will need

     1.  An MP3 player with a USB OTG (On-The-Go) port such as the IRiver H300 Series mentioned above.

     2.  A USB Host Cable.

     3.  A USB Host Compatable Card Reader.
