 Incompatiblity with SD card readers July 20, 2008

You may need a 'micromate USB sdhc adapter', or equivalent generic adapter, if you want to transfer to and from a PC and the memory at high speed (I get around 4Mbps writing and around 10Mbps reading sustained speeds with a generic SDHC compatible USB adapter).
Many SD card readers, even the USB 2.0 ones I have that are less than a year old, do not support SDHC.
The SD card adapter supplied is only a physical form factor adapter it has no electronic communications adaptation capability.
Without a 'micromate' USB adapter, or equivalent, expect problems of locking up explorer and an unrecognised card in MS Windows computer-browser when the SDHC-card in the supplied SD-form-factor adapter is inserted into an SD-card-reader that does not support SDHC. (I found simply removing the card from an incompatible reader unlocked 'computer browser' from hanging, on MS Vista).
Otherwise connect a compatible phone, sound recorder, camera etc with the SDHC card installed in the device, via USB, or other communications transfer hardware, for useable, if potentially slow, transfers. I get read speeds of around 200kbps using this transfer method.
Rating Would have been 5 stars if this information was published and easy to find.
