Enter the new Panasonic adapter (BN-CSDABP3) with a unique fit that encloses the SD card completely. Unfortunately, this unit is not yet available in the US; it's a Japanese-only part. If you really need it, the Dynamism folks can import it for you, at a higher cost ($89 ea.) -- email them. (By the way, if you've never checked out Dynamism before, do so. Truly nifty site.)

Cool- so, I can't tell from the picture, but does this one have the SD slide in from the side, so that after inserting the SD it's still a Type I form factor??? Please confirm.

Thanks!

sarnath Pupil Join Date: Dec 2002 Posts: 16		Not sure, but I don't see why not..........I will test it out when I receive it this is what is says on the site: Secure Digital SD / MMC to CompactFlash CF Card Adapter The SD to CF adapter allows users to plug a Secure Digital or MultiMedia Card directly into a CompactFlash CF card slot. Weighing just 116g the CompactFlash MMC / SD adapter is a convenient 50mm x 42.8mm x 3.3mm adapter that enable you to read and write to Secure Digital in PDAs and other digital devices that only accept CompactFlash. Fully compatible with Secure Digital and MultiMedia Cards. Truly plug and play operation to transfer data quickly at 8MB per second easily without the need for any drivers. Compatible with CompactFlash Type I Socket. Who would need to buy a SD to CF Adapter Consider the situation where you have a Palm handheld computer (that accepts a Secure Digital SD card) and a printer or digital camera that only accepts CompactFlash cards. The SD MMC to CF adapter will allow you to reuse your Secure Digital and MultiMedia Card in the same device -- and access the same files without the need for a single driver.

What if you used the CF adapter and an SD card with the camera, then took the SD out of the adapter for use in your PPC?

Just thinking the other way round...

Mobile Bob Ponderer Join Date: Apr 2004 Posts: 88		Thank you, Janak. And welcome aboard Pocket PC Thoughts. :way to go: Why does it take Panasonic so long to offer these items in North America? I want my 1GB SD Card right now! Actually, I would be thrilled with a 512MB SD Card, but not until the prices fall much lower.
