Re: adapter that lets you plug USB jump drive / thumb drive into Mini SD slot?

I doubt it. At least with CF and (full size SD) a designer could count
on the fact that the slot was externally available allowing devices that
"stick out" like wireless cards or external ports to work.

Mini and micro SD slots are now finding there way INSIDE devices (my
wife's T-Mobile Dash's slot is INSIDE the battery compartment, for
example) which wouldn't fit anything larger than the card itself.

You'd likely be able to find the opposite, however- "thumb drives" that
are, in actuality, miniature SD readers that allow you to remove the SD,
mini or micro card inside and put it in your device.

Part of my "travel kit" is such a reader with a SD-to-mini adapter inside
for moving files between my T-Mo MDA (HTC Wizard) and PCs.
