true, but i wouldn't mind being dependent on a power plug for transferring my data. just don't want to have to carry a heavy computer when travelling.
(for portable hard disks that don't come with the possibility to use a power plug instead of usb power supply, the battery charger of the camera could have 2 usb connectors to function as a powered usb hub.
then, you could transfer your files in the hotel room while charging your batteries.)
