I was perusing the clearance section at my local London Drugs today (Antikx and Grog you have to check this out!) and found something called a Netac USB-CF-Card. They had 64MB, 128, and 256MB models in the stand. Basically, it is a CF card with a female Mini-USB B port on it. It also comes bundled with a ZipLinQ with male USB A to male Mini USB B. I added my tiny male Mini USB A adapter to it to turn the ZipLinQ cable into a USB host cab le and voila I can now use my Wifi and CF card at the same time on my 1000. (Yes, I know it's cheating). Anyway, the 256MB card only set me $19.99 Canadian which I thought is pretty reasonable for the card plus ZipLinQ cable.
Here a manufacturer's photo of the card. And is my 1000 in seventh heaven running my SD, CF, and Wifi at the same time  Sorry for the poor quality on the picture. I couldn't get the right lighting so I had to digitally enhance it.

Some googling for "Netac USB-CF" found these 2 sites
Seems to be for sale for $12.95 and includes pic of usb cable http://www.jmtekstore.com/shop/prodView.asp?idproduct=82 http://www.jmtekstore.com/shop/prodList.asp?idCategory=16 but This site's review is dated Nov 2002, and is the same site that is linked in first post here. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0211/02112301netaccfminiusb.asp Good luck finding these, except in limited quantities. Some pics: EDIT: $12.95 would be a decent price for just the retractable USB cable, (in some areas) Also attached PDF manual for this gadget. This post has been edited by Jon_J: Sep 20 2006, 10:47 AM
