    I got one of these at a career fair for free. I haven't bothered using it though.

    Ordered one of these before from a different vendor. Was DoA. This one may be good, but I'll stick to my name-brand multi-format reader, even though it is less portable.

    There's one for $2 with shipping at Dealextreme.com. Different style.

    Multi-Reader

    Focalprice had one for even cheaper. Not so compact and possibly works with SDHC(stated only on the product and not on the Page Specs). Still waiting on mine.

    Or get this for Micro-SD. Just hang this on your key-ring for on-the-fly transfers of files.

    Got one for $0.50 w/ free shipping through ebay. I use it to transfer music onto my microSD card for my phone. Works well, but there's no way you need to pay $5 for it.

    YANBFB. This is crapolla from the armpit of the net.

    Dealextreme is very cheap and has been totally reliable. Having said this, as #1, I also was given a number of these free at trade shows. Save your nickel, or if you want to help Ben make a living from this, send him the money- directly rather than being Meritscummed.

    There are a lot of similar look SD and, sometimes SDHC readers out there. Lots of them are crap. These aren't. They are good, fast, SDHC and SD card readers. Well worth the price.

    I have this reader, bought from them, it is NOT SDHC compatible. 2gb and under only, don't let them fool you...

    Ben's pic isn't the same as the pic when following the link...

    I keep one of these in the camera case and they work great! If your camera (or other device) uses an SD card, it's the easiest way to get the data from there sans one of those expensive new WiFi SD Cards. Bought by first one through Meritline and the second one through DealExtreme and both work fine.
