This cable lets me access my internal SATA disk drives by plugging them into a USB port (instead of shutting down the computer, opening it up, installing a drive, closing it up, and booting).

Globalsat BT-338 Bluetooth GPS Receiver

Description

This little puppy works well. It takes up to 1 minute to acquire enough satellites to fix its location, so the TomTom software on my treo doesn't even acknowledge its existence until the green light starts flashing. But then it works like a champ. It has a long battery life and seems to be quite accurate in its location readings.

After about six months, mine developed a problem with its power switch, but I used their web interface to fill out a problem report, got a timely response from their support engineer, and US Globalsat sent me a replacement within days.

Sandisk Ultra II SD Plus USB

Description

It's the smallest 1GB USB memory stick that I've found. And, that's because it's the size and shape of an SD card. And, that's because it *is* an SD card!
This means that you can use it in your Treo 650 and/or your Canon SD400 as a standard SD memory card and then (after hinging part of the card down) plug it into your computer's USB port to transfer pictures or data.

Yes, it really works and I've had no problems with the USB connection even though it doesn't have all of the bulk of the normal USB plugs.

The only drawback is that it is a little wide when plugged into the USB port, so it may prevent adjacent USB ports from being used at the same time.

This replaced my existing SD card and eliminated my need for two other devices: my SD card reader and my USB keychain memory stick.

This card also comes with a slim keychain holder so that it doesn't get lost in your pocket if you don't have a phone or camera.
