It's taken a year since we reported on the exciting
SD cards with built-in USB. And now Japanese-designed YouSD is on shelves here, distributed by
01 Computer System. While we'd have preferred the hinged version of
SanDisk's SD Ultra II to YouSD's removable cap, we've no complaints as it's truly very convenient. The test sample that came via courier had a speedy USB 2.0 transfer rate, with an LED on the tiny card to indicate data transfer. Everything was as simple as plug-and-play. Convenience has a price, naturally. As a general idea of the premium you can expect: An INX 256MB Secure Digital SD Card will set you back about S$81 (US$48) to S$30 (US$17.65) for a normal stick.
