Hey, for portable storage, do you have a preference? A sd card or a little USB thing?

I think the sandisc micro cruiser is my fave so far. The light on the end is so bright, if I decide to look at it.

I have a micro sd card for my cell phone, and that thing is pretty cool, with it's included adapter.

The weirdest one I have so far, is one from Sony. It is an USB drive, but it feels like a sd card. Lol, oh and it is pink!

Sheesh, I have quite a collection. And I didn't mention the other two...*lol*

The only drawback I have about the sd cards, is it is a pain to get out of my laptop!

I like the USB thumb drives because you don't have to worry about getting any kind of card reader and you can put it on a keychain but I never did that.

Oh and I like the sound the computer makes when you plug it in.

Oh I agree, I like the thumb drives. man they are so fast. I never used a card before.

I personally prefer thumb drives for their speed. Many devices have ports for both, but you have to use the SD cards to do things like updating them. If you update the MPower for example, it'll only take updates from the cards, and what's rather odd, if the card is over 512 mb it just doesn't work. I understand the manufacturers of the Icon say its best to back things up to an SD card.

I use both devices. I use an sd card for my braille note and a thumb drive for my computer.

I'm like Poster 6. I use thumb drives for my computer and a card for my BrailleNote.
