Heck, they're even responsive to this discussion forum! I just got my CF card yesterday, and I've already filled up half of it with maps and ebooks. I love this thing!

I doubt you're going to get any software than can read the cf card directly, (but please prove me wrong!). Looks like memplug beats cf in that regard. But.. CF is not vaporware either!

FYI - It appears that you can use SM in a CF Matchbookdrive.

"Pretec Electronics makes a CF to SM adapter which will work with the MatchBookDrive adapter, if someone wants an SM solution."

It is a little difficult to find info on the Pretec adapter. (I forgot to mention that you would have to get the Matchbookdrive that accepts Type II CF cards - Good Catch!)

Looks like it would stick out quite a bit... no good... and for $40, you might as well go get the memplug...

I wonder if, using that adapter, you could read SD cards directly....

There is another problem. I just spotted info that seems to indicate that the Pretec adapter is limited to SM of no greater than 32mb.

True, Amazon has them listed. However, if you call them, they can give you NO information on when they expect to receive them. I am not going to cancel my order with Palmgear and order from Amazon until I see they have them in stock. I'd hate to lose my place in the que at Palmgear for one.... LOL.
