OK, so I know this is an older thread, but I wanted to post what I did and then get a question answered. I used the "worlds smallest adapter" mentioned above by disassembling it and then just taping the micro sdhc card to the contacts with scotch/invisible tape. I know it's low tech, but it works great. With the usb portion removed, i can still close the 770's door just fine and I never had to crack open the case. (Though it is a little tight of a fit). That being said, when I pop the thing into my sd card reader on my windows box, it comes up but is readonly as if there is a lock and it is switched on. I've retaped it in different positions and compared it to a normal sd card and it doesn't look like anything is in the way of the lock position. Does anybody have any ideas? I'd love to be able to throw it in the computer, copy media files over and then swap it back into the 770.

I could just connect the 770 through usb, but then if the 770 is in USB host mode, I'll have to mess with changing to slave and host and back all the time. I guess that'd still be ok if it was easier than having to use the flasher util every time. Is there an easier way?

I could do it over WiFi, but then if I'm somewhere that it's a pain to setup...blah blah blah...

You see my dilema? Ideas anyone?

By the way, fanoush, thank you for making this possible with your patches. And thanks to everyone else for the ideas, instructions, etc...
