21-in-1 card reader for MacBook Pros debuts

Sonnet Technologies has introduced a 21-in-1 multimedia memory card reader designed to fit in the ExpressCard/34 slots on MacBook Pros. The device inserts flush inside a MacBook Pro's ExpressCard slot so it can be carried inside the computer slot even when not in use. It includes support for the following formats: Memory Stick, MMC (Multimedia Card), SD (Secure Digital), XD-Picture Card, and all their variations. The card also works in the larger ExpressCard/54 slots. The reader requires a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Version 10.4 or later and is priced at $30.

That looks like 4 mini-card formats. When is Apple ever going to smarten up and provide a CF card slot in its so called "professional" laptops?

Because it would go unused for most customers. Get a CF card reader for the express card slot if you want. That's why it's there - so you can get a reader to suit your needs.

I believe a compact flash card is physically larger than the 34mm slot size so any reader of this format cannot be made flush using this size of slot.
