would this work?

since SD cards are so much cheaper i think this would be a godsend.

In what country? In the United States, Froogle gives SD and CF prices in the same range: $60 to $100 for a 1 GB card. Froogle also gives $60 for the adapter itself.

such a device is of course expensive because the interface is quite different. i would not buy it, save the money and get a CF card.

this would be cool for testing apps on different flash carts!

Point is that it'd be about the same price to buy a 1 GB SD and a 1 GB CF than to buy a 1 GB SD and this adapter. Plus if you want to test on all the adapters yourself, you have to buy all the adapters.
