If you have any of the Archos AV400 unit (20, 80, or 100GB) and you travel a lot taking hundreds of pictures with your digital camera, this is perfect for the following reasons:

1. You can view your pictures better with the bigger screen compared to the ones with the digital camera.
2. You can backup your picture files.
3. You can manage and rename your picture files.
4. BEST OF ALL - no need to buy additional/bigger capacity memory cards. Just dump the pictures into your AV400 unit and your memory card is free again to store new pictures.

Perfect too for sharing files with other PDAs or celfones that use memory cards. Transfer is faster and it will not eat up the onboard memory of the PDA/celfone during tranfer since it is direct to the memory card. But you need to keep it in a protective casing when not in use to minimize particle (e.g. dusk) accumulation that may hamper the reading of media cards.

These option and features was one of the justification for buying an AV4100 and choosing it over the AV700.

The card adapter lets your sd card work in any device that works with compact flash. Really works out great with the archos devices.

I used this product with the Archose GMini 220 20GB version which I bought in 2003. Backpacked Europe this summer with both Archos products and did not have any problems. Worked flawlessly with a Sandisk 1GB SD card.

I tried to get one of these through amazon and every other website that had it listed. Archos is NOT producing these anymore. If you go to newmp3technology.com they support all archos products. They have an adapter that is a 5 in 1 that works great with my Archos 300. They carry a full line of products. I also purchased the leather case which fits the box like a glove and has a handy belt loop and stand with it. Next will be a new battery! check them out for all your archos needs!

I am using the Archos Adapter to read Memory Stick Pro media. Performance exceeds my expectations on speed and ease of use in transferring data into both a Nixvue Vista portable storage unit and into my PC via a Compact Flash reader. I am very happy I purchased the Archos Adapter.

I use my adapter for smart media cards. It works very well.
