I used to use mine for a compact flash card reader; iPhoto recognizes 
and launches when it is plugged in.  But now iPhoto recognizes my 
camera, so I haven't used it in a while.  If you have an unsupported 
digital camera, that may be a use for it... these card readers are 
under $10.

I haven't done a speed test, but the PC slot may be faster than the 
USB connector??? Anyone know for sure.  That could be handy if one 
has a lot of pictures, or if you have multiple CF chips, to keep your 
camera in use while you are off-loading images.
