To get things straight:
The Icon has a mini SD card slot. You have to get a card reader to read SD
cards, or compact Flash Cards. Those plug into the USB port. You can
purchase those from the internet, or at a computer store such as Radio
Shack, Best Buy, or other stores that might be in your area.

Wow that sounds really wonderful. I would love to get this since my husband
and I do travel to
the east coast twice a year, sometimes we do get stuck in an airport, and it
sure would be nice to
surff the web when you are waiting for your flight, or if we are in PA, at a
hot spot, I could
surff the web there to, when I looked at this Icon , the pric was really
what interested me, since
I did look at all of the other note takers, they seemed really expensive,
and since I do still
have the Braille and Speak, I got that for 1400 dollars and the Icon, is
around that same price,
wow! This is cool how you are on this list as well as the WE list. I also
noticed when I was
listening to the podcasts they did mention it does have a CF card slot, and
you have to purchase a
CF card reader? Where would you get those items? How does all of this work?
Thanks for your help.
