Whenever I want to show photos while away from home I use my iPod. However the screen is too small for detailed viewing and I don't want to have to carry a laptop.

Any ideas on how to show the photos using a small (larger than iPod screen) photo viewer??

The ones I've looked at are wide panel and do not display photos correctly...and I don't do Windozzzz...

put the photos on a dvd and get a 7" or 9" portable dvd player.

What do you mean they don't display the photos correctly? Pictures don't get stretched when displayed in a screen with different ratio.
If I had the money, I'd go for a Macbook Air (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm=browse&mco=7B72365F&node=home/shop_mac/family/macbook_air)... "Between 0.16 to 0.76 inch thin and weighing only 3.0 pounds".

What about one of those digital picture frames. Not sure if any of those would be a suitable size.

I use a Archos 30GB Portable DVR/Music/AVI/Photo player. About $400 for the one I have but it dosent use its own software, it uses Windows Media Player to upload files via the sync feature.

I take small Itoya books with me. I make "actual" prints and put them in the books.

Wow....tangible prints.

What a great idea!!

The ones I've looked at make the photos look unnatural and they use Windows..

In most cases a laptop is with me. The last trip I took without a laptop, I used an Epson P-2000. It's been sitting fairly idle lately, so if you're interested it's close to LN condition with box and accessories.

This is a nice unit which I used to own but it is not compat with Leopard. Epson only has drivers for the Power PC Mac.

I run Leopard and it can see the P-2000. Seems to work normally. What kind of problem did you have with it?

Hmmm. Not running leopard at home, but the Epson driver for the P-2000 does not list support for 10.5. I've sent them an email, but no response yet. Glad to hear that it's working for you.
