With microSD cards getting so large, we have seen some create uses.  This years CES 2010 is no exception.  Take for example, the new data backup service from Clickfree.  Clickfree now offers the ability for you to backup PC files directly to your Blackberry smartphone.

The new Clickfree Traveler Micro-SD card for BlackBerry comes with pre-installed Clickfree software.  This enables you to easily backup important files to your BlackBerry.  The Traveler is tailor made for the business users who are constantly on the go and searching for a better way to backup their data.

Once Clickfree is installed your BlackBerry will automatically backup your files every time you connect to the computer via USB cable.  It also keeps files secure with password protection which is encrypted.  The Clickfree Traveler works with Windows 7, Vista, XP and Mac OS X 10.5+.  It will release in February for a price of $89.99 (16GB) and $149.99 (32GB).

The highly anticipated Blackberry Storm is shipping with an 8GB microSD flash memory card - but there’s only one problem.  The phone has gotten horrible reviews and lacks the functionality most require for a quality MP3 experience.  So now the problem - what to do with 8GBs of flash memory.  Sure you could find something to store up that card, like snaps shots from the 3.2mpix camera or store the entire yellow pages of phone numbers and address,  but the reality is - without a good MP3 player mechanism the storage isn’t all that necessary.

Sorry for the rant, but to boost the value of the phone with a $20 8GB microSD card isn’t all that impressive.
