If you have a PalmOne Treo, PDA, or other SD Card equipt camera or gizmo then the 1 GB Sandisk Ultra 2 SD memory card/USB Jump Drive is a perfect companion. It's a 1 GB SD Memory Card that fits in the standard SD slot in the Treo (or other SD device) that doubles as a 1GB USB Jump Drive. Snap the card in half to expose an USB connection which then becomes another drive when plugged into your PC.

When I am in the office I keep the USB jumpdrive in my laptop where I use it to back up the authoratative copy of my work. I back the card/jump drive up to my laptop a couple of times a week and then back up the laptop to an external hard drive once a week.

Pros: Handy! If you are using this card in a SmartPhone/Digital Camera then you have an easy way to off-load those photos without having an SD card reader. If you routinely carry an SD Card equipped SmartPhone or Digital Camera with and a USB jump drive with you then you can consolidate the jump drive into your phone/camera and only have to keep track of one device.

When I travel I keep the card in my Treo SmartPhone where the 1 GB card becomes extra memory for pictures, MP3s, etc. AND I always have my important files with me in the one device that I am most likely to have on me. While the card appears rather flimsy it has taken some hits while hanging off the side of my laptop and hasn't broken yet.

Cons: Relatively expensive vs. other jump drive or SD card options, important unencrypted files potentially lost with the card should you loose the phone/camera/PDA that the card is in. Available memory limited to 1GB for now (2GB models shipping in October). No biometric security.
