Hi Ibrahim
Yes that's actually what I meant, but forgot to add the adapter bit.
Actually, I haven't tried that feature out yet.

HI Jackie.
Forgot to mention that the memory card reader in the Samsung is only good for
sd cards. For standard sd cards, you don't need to use an adaptor, but for
micro and mini cards, an adaptor is required which should be supplied with the
card.
