We have found a pretty cool offer of a free 40 Gig iPod which should light up the faces of a few of our regular readers (these units usually go for between $300 and $400).

As we’re sure you’re aware, Apple iPods are one of the most popular ways for travelers to store music and image files - really handy as a storage device if you’re into digital photography too.

For you photographers, the 40 Gig iPod has a 2 inch diagonal LCD screen with 65k colours and an LED backlight.

One thing that a lot of travellers have reported however, is that iPods are not the most durable devices with regards scratches and bumps so you might want to consider getting a desent hard cover for it.

They have about 15 hours of battery life which is decent (especially if you are only using it as a digital photography storage device) which takes about 5 hours of charging time. They also have firewire or USB 2.0 interface so you can transfer your files between your devices.

There are probably slighly better devices for travelers on the market but for the price (free) you probably can’t complain too loudly.

Check out the free offer.
