You will need to buy an inexpensive USB card reader for about £12 and this will be able to read both Compact Flash and SD cards.<BR /><BR />You may be better advised to connect by mini USB and transfer your files through a cable.<BR /><BR />As to which to use - I don't suppose it makes much difference and you should look at the price per MB of storage.<BR /><BR />In short, CF cards are bigger, older technology but at the moment slightly more reliable when using more than one machine. SD cards are smaller, lighter and 'Cooler' but are prone to a few compatibility issues.<BR /><BR /><img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.lt/html/@0248C33DDCF34AA61B8F8F33F5AFA5BE/images/smilies/013.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 13 Aug 2006 20:19:08 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/ipaq-memory-compatibility/m-p/53972#M90711 Blencogo 2006-08-13T20:19:08Z
