iWay: Empty Your SD Card Onto Your Video iPod
When I’m out and about, I fill up my SD card on my camera all the time. Especially when I’m filming a lot, my little 2GB SD card can only hold 22 minutes of video. If I’m trying to film a birthday party or another family event, 22 minutes goes by so quickly. I usually lug my laptop around to empty out my SD card, but iWay has created a different option for you: use your 80GB Video iPod to store your photos until you get home.
Unfortunately, the iWay does not work with the Photo iPod or the iPod Nano, but it is compatible with the 60GB and 80GB Video iPods. One other disadvantage is that it also doesn’t support SDHC cards, so if you splurged and got a big 4GB or 8GB SDHC card, you probably won’t be able to use the iWay to empty it out.
Despite these limitations, I’m tempted by the iWay. For 70 bucks, I can stop lugging around my laptop and just carry the iPod in my purse. This would be especially helpful when I’m doing my walking videos. It’s so easy to fill up my cards when I’m filming those.
Update 06-15-07: I just realized that 2GB cards are getting cheaper and cheaper. For that 70 bucks, I could just get a couple extra SD cards and eliminate the need to transfer until I get home.

I just got an iWay for my 80GB iPod viceo and won’t work. It says it’s unsupported. WTF? Is there some update I need to do to my iPod for the iWay to work? Any suggestions?
