    Hi everyone.


    I was looking for a piece of technology and was wondering if anybody out there had heard about it or seen it on another site. Basically, id love to get a usb flash drive with a minimum of 256mb that can read normal size SD and MMC cards. The idea behind it would be that you could attach it to your carkeys or keychain so it would always be to hand. Even if the device didnt have onboard memory, if the card could be hidden inside or something, that would be cool.

    Appreciate any help you can give me:D

    "Keep your memory card in the Single Slot Multi-Card Reader and use it as USB flash drive"
    um...wouldn't it just be a memory card reader that you leave a card in...uh...

    in case it's not too late, argos sell an MP3 player that has 256MB onboard flash and it can also take SD cards. it's about 35 euro. It's a rubbish MP3 player by all measures but contains all the technology you need. Fitting it onto a keychain would be possible through the lanyard hole. You might need to bring a cable though...
