 I'm wondering if there is something that will allow me to hook my
camera up to my Pocket PC? Both have connectors that allow for USB
outs. Is there a unit i can plug both usb connectors into that will
allow my pocket pc to retrieve the data on my camera? Must be a
porable unit battery powered I assume. Thanks for you time.

Nope, can't do that. Both your camera and your Pocket PC are peripheral
devices. The USB system does not support peer-to-peer comunication and thus
requires a host controller.

I believe there was a USB Expansion Pack for iPaqs. But since you
didn't state your device's type... :-|

There is such a device - its called a PC (personal computer). The "
portable battery-powered" version is known as a "laptop". This will be able
to retrieve photos from your camera and transfer them to your Pocket PC :o)
