ZIO COMPACTFLASH CF READER USB

Summary: Gets the job done. Fast.
Review: While it might be tempting to go for a cheaper device, I would advice to read its reviews (if available). This guy never failed on me. It not only looks cool, it gets the job done. I've used it with Win98 and now WinXP(pro). It also seems to be very fast compared to what friends and colleagues have told me how long it takes them to download images. The only alternative I would consider is the USB 2.0 version of the device from the same manufacturer.

Summary: Doesn't work as advertised in product manual
Review: Works great with Windows XP but is not recognized by Mac OS X (10.3.5) on iBook G4. The manual says it will but it doesn't. The service department at zio comfirmed it doesn't - I don't know why they have that in their manual then. Best Buy has USB card readers that work at half the price.
