Sorry, Rob, but I, honestly, can't use one. The SanDisk 1GB Ultra II SD Plus USB card would only make me want to carry around more frivilous music files, work documents and/or video clips for quick access on almost any system that I, daily, have access to. Thus, I, probably, shouldn't have even posted, but seeing as there were no posts and I like your site I thought "what the heck."

This contest is a no-brainer for me. I found a Casio S500 digital camera on the side of the road in November and got an iPAQ 1955 for Christmas. Both use SD, but my Scribbler SC500 doesn't have an SD slot. I've been using an adapter to transfer, which is hardly ideal. With an SD Plus USB card, I'd be transferring photos and data like a madman.

Would be useful when I need to transfer data from the work desktop to my PPC, like maps and directions (not often but it happens). Also, sometimes I download podcasts at work and listen to them on the way home (shh!).

The SanDisk 1GB Ultra II SD Plus USB card would be the perfect addition to my mobile lifestyle. As a student I rely heavily on the notes taken on my TC1100. I am constantly backing up all my notes and PDFs to make sure that I do not get stuck without them in the event of a crash. The size of these backups can get extremely large, and 1gb would help drastically. While my TC1100 has an SD slot not all computers that I come across, or even my desktop PC has that ability. The USB therefore becomes an extremely valuable option for me as I take files to and from my job too. Therefore, I could really use the 1GB of space and the flexibility of the USB.

Remember PC on a stick? I've been wanting BartPE on a flash drive for some time now, but the largest flash drive I have is only 512mb. I don't have to tell you what a great thing it would be for a PC support tech (and road warrior) to have the ability to pop one of these babies into an ailing PC and boot an OS with network drivers, diagnostic tools and virus cleaners, not to mention the ability to see a USB DVD burner that won't show up in DOS. Heck, there might even be room left over to carry around my favorite adware zappers and/or to make an emergency data backup!

It doesn't hurt that my PocketPC, TabletPC, digital camera and four of my MP3 players all use SD. Really, it's just a matter of time before I will have to hour one...do you think the judging will be done before Buy.com's sale ends? :D

well, the price has been getting cheaper over the past several weeks - so it is hard to tell. Personally, it might be worth buying it now and then hoping you win an extra one - $39.95 for 1gb of storage isn't too bad.

I picked up an extra one...

The SD Plus card would help me get an extra 1GB of memory to my already overloaded brain. Seriously, I have so many passwords, user files, and personal docs, that even my PDA can't keep up. With the built in USB adaptor, I can now keep this puppy in my wallet for quick access anywhere there is a computer. So small, so flat, so convenient, I would even keep my health records on there.

I photograph for the Israel Museum on a tiny Canon Ixus 55. The SD Plus card would be a joy to keep in the camera and then download at the Museum. Less to carry and less to worry about since all the computers are different but all have a USB port.

This SD Plus card will fit in the multi-card slot of my M400 tablet perfectly. I can carry music, video, documents and pictures on-the-go, then swap it to another device and enjoy the media there!

I’d put the SanDisk Plus card in the SD slot on my notebook which is my only computer. A gig of storage would allow me to conveniently backup my important work. Not only would the card be a great benefit when on the road, but it would also give me peace of mind that my data will not be lost.

Plug or Insert enough said.

The SanDisk SD/USB card is a very practical and useful storage medium for someone with a lot of acquaintances using SD Card-equipped devices. As a foreign student in Japan, I often find myself receiving and sharing class project files with fellow students using DoCoMo phones and Zaurus PDAs. Transferring those files to my old laptop is quite a chore and it is for this reason that GottabeMobile's "omiyage" will come a long way to making my mobile life here a lot easier. =)

Thank you and more power!

It seems that all of my family members have nice digital cameras (that can utilize SD), but unfortunately they never remember to email pictures to the family after the picture-worthy events. With an SD card I won't need to rely on [insert forgetful family member here] to send me the pictures, I can just whip out the SD, copy the pictures and when I get home download into my desktop via USB. And of course, once I decide which ones to print I can go to the scrapbooking store and use the nice kiosk they have and print away without needing to burn a CD... Freedom!!

I currently use a 512 MB SD card to transfer data between my laptop and my work computer, but my computer at home doesn't have a SD slot. So, this would be ideal for me to use the USB feature there. Plus, it would double the capacity! I could then put the 512 MB card into my Sandisk Sansa MP3 player to double its memory, increasing the number of podcasts I can carry with me at once.

I would love a one gig card for my Motion 1400 so I could experiment with setting up a range of portable programs that would work both in the Motion and any other computer. Dutch enthusiasts are already developing special versions of many of the popular programs that can quickly and easily instantly be installed and run from an SD card - but it is still a question of hit and miss (not to mention upsetting the program creators by developing a cut down version of their masterpiece.)
But to try this properly, you would need a collection of programs, plus a few cut down manuals and maybe a notepad or two. Hence a 1 gig card would be perfect!

A device such as this is extremely versatile; it can be used in a countless number of ways. As previously posted, the card would make an excellent backup device. I do have many documents on my C314, so all of them would fit nicely on a thousand megabytes of storage space (if necessary, slightly larger groups of files could be compressed). The card would make an excellent solution for safeguarding in the event of a crash.

This could all be considered a “two-in-one” device: a regular SD card, AND a USB flash drive. Therefore, I could use it in a number of other ways. As a flash drive, I could use it to quickly transfer files from my tablet (which is SD-enabled anyways) to computers without card slots, but with regular USB ports. I am sometimes called to fix other computers of people I know. With the card, I could quickly transfer some diagnostic tools and applications from my tablet and load them onto the other machine, without the hassle and time-consumption of CD-burning and network configurations and transfers. Of course, I could use the USB drive functionality for transferring drivers, security programs, etc. between machines as well. I could also use this functionality with the Windows Briefcase tool to transfer files from different machines, alter them, and keep them in sync, enabling me to work from not just my tablet, but from other computers as well.

I own a 6.2 megapixel digital camera, which can fill up SD cards quickly with large image sizes. This card would allow me to take a large number of images with its one gigabyte of storage. In addition, because it is an Ultra 2 card, the camera could read and write from this card at very high speeds, reducing the amount of writing lag time required between taking two consecutive images. After I am done picture-taking, I could simply take the card and insert it into my tablet for fast image-transfer, or with the USB functionality, view the images on any system with a decent monitor when I’m on-the-go, which is certainly better than viewing them on a two inch screen.

Finally, this card would enable me to take advantage of the upcoming Windows Vista SuperFetch capabilities. The card could be used as “scratch space” for Vista so that I could speed up performance without sacrificing my existing system memory in my tablet.

In conclusion, the SD card would enhance my mobile lifestyle on my tablet, camera, and other machines in terms of speed and convenience.

I am past deadline, and do not expect to be in the running. I also did not expect there to be so few contenders earlier in the week when I glanced over it, but here I am looking at it after watching the video on the TC1100.

I already asked my office manager to get a storage piece like this. Unless I am mistaken, I could use it as program and file storage for my HP Pocket PC (which I need anyway) and access files directly from it through the USB on my NEC VersaLitePad, instead of needing to do a synchronization with the extra hardware involved.

Egg on my face. I had the screen left from the other day when I downloaded the clip on the tc1100 and went away to do something else. After I hit the save comment button the screen refreshes and I see the winners announced yesterday..... I will go hide now.....
