....so there is no software button on the device itself to "eject" or disconnect the card?

So you cannot turn the card off with out cradling it and doing from the PC?

I ask these simple (stupid) questions because I have frequently taken my SD card out, loaded it to my laptop and transferred files.
Never had an issue, but after reading the above posts, I got a bit concerned that this may happen to me....so I thought I would ask.

I don't use the cradle except when in the office....and I don't get there all that often.
