Hi guys,

This might be even better than Epson's P 4500!

Here's some of the features/specificaitons:

- A calibrated (and user-calibrateable) wide viewing angle 3.7 inch LCD

- A CompactFlash interface optimized for speedy photo import
Image review functions that include a histogram (RGB, Red, Green, Blue or luminance), blown highlights warning, cross-hair readout of RGB values and unique dust detection mode

- RAW file decoding, including reading of the white balance in newer Nikon digital SLRs (or, optionally, the display of a RAW file’s internal JPEG)

- A smart disk and memory caching scheme for accelerated photo viewing

- A built-in FTP server with support for transfers from Wi-Fi capable cameras (an extra-cost Wi-Fi CF card for the Giga Vu PRO evolution is required) plus the optional automatic full-screen display of photos as they arrive

- DVI or analog video out with sound

- Slide shows with cross-fade transition optionally set to music

- Full-resolution, full-motion, full-quality playback of common video formats (including standard MPEG flavours found on movie DVDs)

- MP3 audio playback

- User-upgradeable firmware

- 40GB, 80GB and 120GB models

- Shock-mounted hard drive and rounded case design for better data survivability in the event the unit is roughly handled

- USB 2.0 port for rapid copying of pictures to a computer, plus a USBOTG port for transfer of pictures directly from a USB camera to the Giga Vu PRO evolution or the incremental backup of pictures from the Giga Vu PRO evolution to an external USB hard drive

- A rubbery snap-on cover is included to protect the screen and controls during transport

No price at yet, but I'm sure it's not going to be cheap.

Really cool!! More details here!!

sigh......I want...again....

Cheeers,
