Is this really that hot? If it's even a moderate success it will be replicated ad infinitum by every Deal Extreme-like website. It's basically just a microSD adaptor at heart.

Thanks for the heads up though. It's a cool product but not a hot deal imo, mainly due to the kickstarter risk (I've been burned a couple times by products that haven't lived up to expectations ie: iPen).

How could a microsd adapter for $30 be considered hot? How is this macbook only? If you have an sd card slot on your laptop/computer it should work as well.

I would wait till competitors release their own variations, then let the price wars begin.

[bigjee]

I just have to put this out there.

The video looked like they were trying to rip apple's way of presenting products (02:30 building the mini drive) Lol.
Its just a glorified SD card adapter. Sorry but stuff like this already ships with SD cards and isnt anything innovative.

For something that doesn't stick out that much I'm not wasting $30.
Just my $0.02

$30 microsd/sd adapter "hot"?

$2 on DealExtreme within 2 months. Also Kickstarters are not "Deals".

I think it's a great idea. I'll definitely grab one when they're available from Hong Kong for $2 including shipping. I might even see if I can hack a micro-sd card to do the same thing.

They better have the patent for this.

I can't believe anyone would pay $30 for this worthless piece of junk. Granted, they sure did pick the ideal target audience in terms of people who will blow their money on rubbish.

Fail sale but it isn't NCIX

Agreed. They certainly picked the right audience to rip off.

unless you feel the urge to spend 29 more to get your mac looking flush, haha

[sircool]

wth is this? a card reader? an adaptor? for $30, is it a joke?

[vinaymal]

I disagree that this is overpriced and junk. If you are willing to spend money on a MacBook pro you are paying for quality workmanship. This is no different. Who wants something that looks like crap hanging out of there MacBook that looks nice ?
