Beware! It is slow! If you transfer a lot of images the ipod will run out of power before the transfer completes. Look at the following two links for more info: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1023&message=6403600 and http://www.ipodlounge.com/ipodnews_comments.php?id=P1750_0_7_0_C

  Yes, the upload times were stated in this article. I don't think you have to worry about the iPod running out of power using this device, unless that is, the battery is already low when you commence the upload.
  
  I would, however, use good batteries, preferably rechargeable ones, in the Belkin Reader. I think it's primarily designed for 128 MB cards and below, although 256 MB cards work fine, given a little extra time for transfer. Uploading a full 512 MB card can be painful, and probably not a good idea unless you have fresh batteries in the Belkin.
  
  All of that being said, I like the Belkin, am using it, and am having fun exploring the new uses for the iPod, as illustrated in the article.
