Has anyone thought that we can use a Memory Card alongwith a USB Card Reader in place of a pen drive?

That Memory card then can also be used in Digital Cameras, Mobiles, etc.

I got a 512 MB SD card sometime back for around Rs. 1900. MMC are are still cheaper by about Rs. 100. All-in-one card readers come for around Rs. 350.

i'm using a transcend 256mb for alomst 6 months now. I purchased it for aabout 1600,u will get 512 mb for 2500 , so 1 GB will be around 4000-4500 i guess...

And yes..they are good, fast and reliable.
