Images and data can be transferred quickly from Secure Digital Card (SD) &amp; MultiMedia Card (MMC) memory cards to PCs or Macs. This is particularly hand in many applications, including digital cameras and MP3 devices. With the increased speeds, sustained data transfer rates, it is up to 4 times faster than the standard digital camera connection."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/iogear-cardreader.jpg" /><br /><br />I've seen devices like this before, such as the Sandisk Cruzer, but this one looks significantly smaller and more flexible. If you're looking for an easy way to move from your SD-based camera to a host computer, this looks like a cool solution!

Looks like something I could use. Though it doesn't appear to be on sale yet.

Yeah, I looked for it in their online store and couldn't find it - hopefully soon! I think I remember reading it was going to be fairly cheap as well...

Looks like a nice size. Not much bigger than a regular USB-flash drive. Could be a cheap way to get a big flash drive since SD cards have great rebates from time to time.

Your source website said about $15. Which is reasonable considering its not actually providing any memory.

Don't forget this baby:
Lexar JumpDrive Trio

http://www.lexar.com/readers/trio.html

It reads SD/MMC, xD, and, yes, Memory Sticks...

Readily available in the $15-17 range all over.
I *like* mine...

This looks really nice, though with two caps I wonder how long will it be before I lose both of them. =P
