This is something I'm glad is finally happening - something like a 6-in-1 reader directly integrated into your notebook. It's certainly better than Sony's Memory Stick-only slots on their notebooks.
"Aiming to better connect its notebooks with a growing array of digital devices, Gateway is introducing a portable PC that can read the tiny flash memory cards used by digital cameras and MP3 players.
Memory card readers that can read several different types of storage have become popular features on some consumer desktop models, but Gateway appears to be the first to include them on a notebook."
