I ran across this iPhone/iPod charge/sync dock / CF/SD card reader when I was at the Apple store yesterday getting my stupid iPhone fixed for the 5th time. The Griffin Simplifi is 3 important computer accessories in one for photographers. This thing is pretty epic and if you are anything like me, you probably have too many cords and accessories plugged into your computer as is. Why not put two of the most often used ones accessories you have one place? Anyways, I just ordered one and am pretty stoked to get it. The one thing that sucks is it runs on USB 2.0 instead of Firewire 800 but for the convenience it’s not that big of a deal.
Here’s what you get:
- iPhone/iPod charge/sync dock
- CF / SD memory card reader
- 2-port powered USB 2.0 hub
Here’s a link to it at bhphoto.com

Is this just a combination of devices, or will it allow you to dump the contents of cf/sd cards to your iphone or ipod touch on the road? That could be a pretty killer tool when it’s impractical to lug a laptop.
Just a combo.
There are media readers for the iPod Classic that will let you write directly to its hard drive. I have found one for SD, but there might be one out there that does CF also. You can get a 160GB iPod Classic for under $400 now. Way more portable than a laptop and far more capacity than an iPhone.
