To add to that, you can also use external hard drives.

Icon does not have a CF card slott, but rather has a Mini SD card slot. You
can read CF cards with a card reader which you can purchase anywhere that
sells computer accessories. Icon can connect to USB drives and you would
connect to the card reader that way. If you're wanting to purchase cards
that work directly with the unit you'll want Mini SD which, again, can be
bought wherever flash cards are sold, probably cheapest online at places
like www.buy.com or www.newegg.com. You can also buy USB flash drives.
