USB 1.1 Host CF Card
It's about time! RATOC is selling a USB 1.1 Host Adapter card which fits into a CF type II slot.
From the link, it appears that it supports most Pocket PC 2000 or 2002 devices, although it's been tested primarily with iPaqs, the Dell Axim, and the Fujitsu Loox.

OK, my turn to be stupid...
...where exactly is this product being sold? I checked their web store, J&R, outpost.com, and did a couple Google searches.

Pretty neat..
However, to those e740 users who may not know, the e740 already has a USB 1.1 host built into the machine.
Go to http://www.pc-mobile.net/toshiba.htm
or http://www.pc-mobile.net/ptu1.htm
to get the adapter cable(s) and save a couple of bucks and still be able to use your CF slot.
Also, you'll need DeJe's awsome drivers!!
Go to http://www.deje.gmxhome.de/download.html
Don't forget to donate to DeJe's efforts! - his work has been trailblazing for the e740 and USB devices!!!
FYI,
JB

This seems like a great device.
Here is the but...
But they do not provide extra drivers. USB devices will not natively work on the PPC will they?
the Other But...
Compact Flash is out. It is time for SD. Yes I realize there are still devices out there with CF. Heck I have one. But my next device will be SD just as everyone elses' next device will be. So how useful is a CF USB port?

Unfortunately you are wrong, CF will survive and SD will be out soon because of very slow speed. xD or other new format(SD-II) will replace SD.

Just like what has been discussed in BrightHand, until we start seeing SD peripherals being sold off the shelves from our local computer stores, we are still going to keep on buying CF. Also, SD peripherals must catch up to the current ones that CF are offering (i.e. modem among others)

Don't forget the Toshiba (Audiovox) e550G has a USB port in the cradle.
