MPIO SD Memory Card with Integral USB Flash Memory – Who Needs Card Readers?

If an SD memory card with built in Wi-Fi connectivity, such as the
previously featured Eye-Fi SD Card, isn't quite what you're looking for
but you would like an SD card that offers a little more in the way of
versatility then MPIO's newly announced USD memory card could be of
interest.

The MIPO device not only functions as a standard SD memory card but,
cleverly, also serves as a USB flash memory device which simply clips
out of the SD shaped housing - thus allowing you to upload images from
digital cameras, for instance, without having to resort to card readers.

Launched at the time of writing to the Korean market, but sure to make
an appearance in the wider world in the next few months, the MPIO USD
Memory Card comes with either L-Type or T-Type specifications and a
suggested retail price of 19,900 Won for the 1GB capacity card (which is
around $22 / pound sterling11 / โ�ฌ15).

Incidentally, by way of a footnote, a couple of readers have been kind
enough to point out that SD card with built in USB connectivity are
nothing new as SanDisk brought out a SD Card - known as the SanDisk
Ultra II - with integral USB functionality a few years back, as shown
below (thanks Sally, Iain).
