USB "high speed"?
Although a great idea and product, USB 2 (I assume) is definitely not "high speed". How many years would one need to upload an 8 gig card? Why not Firewire 800 or eSATA for goodness sake?! If one is going to all the trouble of designing it and installing it for such a high tech expensive machine why go 1/4 way with a slow connector? I would love to buy but wont, as my CF Firewire 800 reader will simply run rings around this unit. Shame as its a good idea for a product.
