Do you have limited memory issues? (In the SD kind of way?)


These days it seems like every digital device can take photos, videos, play mp3's etc. But where do you store all that data? In the puny SD card that came with the device that's only 32MB? What a pain in the neck.

Well, it's time to get another SD card that has tons more memory. There's plenty of new SD cards on the market that go up to 2GB - 4GB *AND* are affordable -- meaning FREE or nearly free (after rebate).

For example, Buy.com has a 2GB SD Card that's $0.00 after 1 easy rebate form with free shipping. Totally NOT a pain in the wallet if it's FREE!



Flash media is becoming so cheap that it's not worth it to be frustrated by limited memory cards. Go for it and pick one up today, you'll be glad you did!

And how about thinking 1 step ahead at the same time? You'll need to dump all that data onto your PC at some point, or else what's the point of taking all those photos and videos? Or how do you get the mp3's from your itunes folder to your SD card?

The solution is a USB card reader. It simply plugs into your USB port, and when you slide in your SD memory card, it shows up on your computer as a separate hard drive. So all you do is click and drag files / folders just like you would with your regulard C: drive or D: drive, etc. And usually these USB card readers come as "universal" formats, so that they can accept any of 10-12 different varieties of memory cards -- SD card, MicroSD cards, Memory Sticks, Compact Flash, XD, etc. Portable keychain ones are available too that are tiny and if you keep a memory card in it, it can act as a flash drive too.
