Hello,
Sorry if this question seems silly, but is there any way i can connect a card reader for the xD format to my phone. I have looked for adapter, and could find none. I looked for reader that are bluetooth enabled, but it looks like they only act as a dongle. So i guess my question is can i get an adapter that will alow me to plus a USB device (a card reader) into my phone. Is there a better way to do it?
Thank you

Would something link this (http://www.amazon.com/Female-Mini-Male-Adapter-Shipping/dp/B000Y6UL5E/ref=pd_sim_dbs_e_img_1) work??

I don't believe Windows Mobile allows the connection of a removeable storage device through USB.

Next best thing might be to get a MicroSD card reader that has a USB port on it. Then simply plug the MicroSD into your Kaiser, and into the adapter when you wish to pull files from other sources.

SanDisk has such a device called the MicroMate.

I am sorry, it seems i wasnt clear enough in what i wanted to do. I have a camera that takes an xD card. I would like to get the pictures from the camera to the phone without need a computer. I know i can do that if the camera took SD cards, I can get microSD card with SD adpters. My question is there any way i can do that or something similar to it with an xD card.
Thanks again

I googled about a bit, and the only adapter I could find for XD cards was to Compact Flash. Maybe buy a new digital camera that uses MicroSD?

yeah i saw that same reader, and i looked into a different camera, but i really like the Olympus cameras, and they only take xD

never seen such a device maybe because an converter would be pretty fragile as microSD is tiny compared to XD

Well other solution is try to get a micro sd card converter to XD card. I mean the XD card adapter that you can put your micro sd card inside and place it on your camera to take a pic. This is what I do on my camera, but I am using a sd card camera.

Yup, Thought about that, looked everywhere, and it looks like they just dont make it. i think it has something to do with who owns the IP on the xD card (Fuji, I think) and who owns it on the SD card (Sandisk I think).
