SanDisk boosts Ultra II SD capacity to 8 GB, no card reader needed

Ultra_ii_8gb_sdhc_plus_cardMy “don’t go anywhere without it” bit of mobile tech gets a boost today. What is it? It’s the best investment I’ve ever made because it works with every single mobile computing device I own (not to mention some non-computing devices): a SanDisk Ultra II SD card with USB interface. My current one has just a single Gigabyte of capacity, but SanDisk has increased the storage to 8 Gigabytes. The suggested price is $99 when they hit stores next month, but I’m hoping to find one for around $80 or less when they go on sale.There’s no doubt that you can purchase a faster SD card or one with a lower price per gig, but the Ultra II is extremely versatile due to its ability to fold in half. Do that, and you’ll expose a USB interface, which I prefer over carrying a card reader. I routinely swap this card from my digital camera right into my MacBook Pro, Samsung Q1P or Asus Eee PC thanks to the USB compatibility. If I need to transfer a file to someone else’s PC, I don’t have to worry about them having a card reader or integrated slot either. I truly take this card everywhere with me.
