Here’s a new way to transfer files from your digital camera to your computer: SanDisk has just created a 1-GB flash memory card that folds open to reveal a USB connector. This saves carrying cables around or worrying about whether the computer you want to download your photos onto has the right kind of card reader.

Since the flash drive is essentially unprotected, I wouldn’t go getting one as a replacement for a keychain drive–it’s undoubtedly best off safe inside your camera. But it’s darned cute, and ingenious, too.
