"Today's users rely on their mobile devices, beyond talk and email, for capturing live moments and downloading their favorite content – whether it's photos, music, or HD video – and they want the flexibility to store and share them on demand. It is with this knowledge that we’ve developed this convenient, all-in-one solution to enable users to not only capture moments and download content, but also to move these to a computer or social media sites easily."

It all sounded so good up to that point...but maybe it is removed easily.

Probably just like Sandisk's U3 junk.

Hopefully the very handy HP USB format tool will dump all that junk as easily as it gets rid of U3.

Good to hear decent micro SD HC cards are coming, I want one for my phone.
Now they just have to fall from their silly initial prices.
