I was just searching everything about SD cards as I'm going to buy a SD card and a reader soon, have a Toshiba CF card at the moment.
Tried it out in my laptop via pcmcia-compact flash adapter and noticed a MP3 took only 3 seconds to transfer and not 30 like with ActiveSync.

But I wonder what slows down the transfer so much? Is it like old serial cable with Hyperterminal:
A packet is send, then the acknowledgement comes. only then the next packet is send, instead of a parallel transfer like if you copy files over a LAN to a ftp server.
Must be the activeSync software I guess.
