I'm not too keen on the 'all eggs in one basket' answer that Wheelie suggests. I prefer to have my camera, phone, computer etc. as seperate items. If I loose / break / have stolen one item it would be less of a disaster than if I only had an all-in-one item.
Hard drives are much more robust than they used to be. There are mp3 players with hard drives, cameras with hard drives (IBM micro drive), and some modern hard drives not only park but 'lock' when switched off, further reducing the risk of disc damage. The new Sony seems to have a slot to take a memory card (the same as most laptops), just copy vital information, pictures etc. to a memory card, most of which are available with capacities up to 4 gb.
