The Spectator also features built-in card slots supporting all popular memory cards. And the unit's integrated auto-verify function provides added security and gives users assurance that the copy process was successful from memory card to hard drive storage. In addition, the Spectator's internal rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery makes it an ideal portable digital storage device that photographers can take with them and share their images anywhere, anytime.

This new mobile storage device also offers additional features such as image-zoom, copy, paste, and delete of images, files and folders, Thumbnail- and Slideshow-Mode with adjustable display duration, power saving function (LCD-Standby, Auto Power off), indication of battery and hard disk capacity as well as Firmware Updates for free. In addition, the Spectator features battery charging via USB and menu navigation in seven languages. The Spectator also features a USB 2.0 High-Speed-interface and TV-out and can function as a Mac or PC compatible external hard disk. The JOBO Spectator supports all popular memory cards including: CF I/II, SD, MMC, MS, MD as well as the new SDHC-standard.

The Spectator is available with three different storage capabilities -- 40GB, 80GB and 120GB. Retail (MSRP) prices are $249, $299 and $379 respectively.
