They're called storage devices that have small hard drives or electronics in them to take the images for later xfer to the computer for processing.
Sorry mate, couldn't resist :-)
Seriously, I don't think anyone has come up with a decent generic name for them. Epson's is just referred to as a 'Mutlimedia Storage Viewer Reviewer' which is really catchy, you'll agree...

or how about the Nixvue Vista: a ''portable image storage and playback device'....

If I go out shooting and don't take my Powerbook with me, then I will just take extra cards (1 x 2 GB, 2 x 512MB) and be done with it. If I am travelling away from home shooting, then the Powerbook comaes with me so i guess you could say that it becomes a 'Slightly Less Portable Image Viewer And Storage Device But Allows Me To Get My Emails And Listen To Music and Loads Of Neat Stuff As Well'...
There *must* be a quick and easy generic name for these things....
'bulk film back'up ?
Okay, that was terrible, I'll just get me coat....
