for those SX1 owners who have struggled to get content onto their memory card using the supplied USB connection... don't do it that way if you can avoid it.
Transfer rates to and from your memory card via the SX1 to a PC is very slow. (even with the newer firmware versions).
It is far better to transfer music, video and application file via a separate MMC memory card reader. If you purchase a new reader, make sure it is a USB2 device because that way, you will get transfer rates well above 1mb per second with our cards. (that is as much as 20X faster than via the SX1 USB connection).
When you are dealing with the bigger mmc cards that we sell (like 256MB and 512MB, and now 1Gb), this becomes increasingly important.
If you are to copy your latest CD album purchase onto your phone, you want it to take a minute or 2, not half an hour!!.
This is an issue for other phones as well. i don;t believe many mobile manufacturers have implemented a full-speed USB2 interface through their mobiles. Which means a separate reader/writer should always be quicker.
