Hi,

the fastest way is to use a seperate card reader.

When i use software i use the Total Commander and the serial plugin with the palm application.

try Card Export by softick. your USB cradle sync with your palm acts as a card reader

Yes I would recommend Card Export.
Even though I have a card reader I have Card Export for my laptop when traveling.
It is slower then a reader but its like Sony's Data Export.
Very nice to have.

Blue Sync was more of a memory card backup that uses the HotSync. It works for it's intended function, but extremely slow and is NOT what you want.

Card Export works very nicely and I highly recommend it. Yes, I also have a USB2 card reader. The SD reader flat out flies when copying files from the PDA to the PC. Writing to the SD card is a lot slower, especially the Toshiba made cards.

Any software solution is slower than a 'true' card reader, so the basic answer is buy a real card reader. You can pick up one cheaper than the software solutions...

Yes, I use the SanDisk Cruzer as my card reader and it works quite nicely. You can get it from Amazon.com for $52 with an included 64MB SD card. See here for photo:

Oh, one quick note about an additional benefit of using a card reader. This applies if you intend to create Kinoma videos. You can have Kinoma write the video directly to your SD card if its in a card reader. Otherwise, you'd have to ask Kinoma to hotsync the video to the Palm which takes a *much* longer time. In any case, good luck with either option.
