Yeah I have a JumpDrive Trio so I know what you mean about the speed difference on an SD card. But still, there are two reasons you'd still want this functionality:

1. Copying directly to and from main storage RAM (if that's what you want to do) might still be faster than having to use the SD card as the "middle man" swapping between the Axim and the card reader, and copying on the device

2. This would eliminate the need to carry around the card reader if you're tight for space... one less device

We're simply talking about a lack of thought on Dell's part. Its sort of the same reason why friends seem to prefer the iPod over the Dell DJ, hands-down... regardless of the price difference, the Dell requires specific software on the host computer, while the iPod will always act like a USB key.
