anyone know if you can easily share your photos with others using iPod Photo? i have several family memebers with macs, one or two stragglers with PCs and we all take lots of snapshots. it'd be nice to be able to load my iPod up with my favorites, take it over to my sister's house, plug it into their mac and have my photo library show up as an album for within iPhoto there. then you could use iPhoto to browse the photos, print what they want or automatically sync certain albums, etc...

how about it?!? then i can see apple selling an iPod Photo family pack ($2400 for a family 4-pack). and BTW, why can't i just plug my digital camera's USB cable and have it extract all the pictures on the camera for safe storage on the iPod? that belkin thing is big and cumbersome to carry when traveling.

I can see many things that can be done by Apple or third parties, as you mentioned
1) Photo sharing
2) Direct link to camera
3) Camera addon
4) Presentation tool addon (VGA output to projector)

Flood gate is open. No matter what naysayer says, we are officially entering a new era of iPod.

you could almost do a presentation now, just output keynote or powerpoint to jpegs and view as a timed slideshow or advance the pics your self, lowtech but it works, is their any detail of the gif support offering animated gif support?
