"Professional" SDHC Card Reader?

Is there one out there?
I was looking at the Sonnet Qio http://www.sonnettech.com/product/qio.html but unfortunately it doesn´t offer SDHC (with SDHC I´s actually considered it, since I still mainly shoot on P2).
I have even considered getting a netbook just for offloading SD cards on set, if there are any wit an SD card slot (like the macbook).

Any hints appreciated!

PS I can´t believe that there isn´t a market for an external aluminium highspeed (FW or eSATA) multicard reader...

Oh, thanks didn´t see that!
Still the jump from a 15$ card reader to the 999$ Qio is quite high and i´d prefer a 100$ FW800 cardreader I could use on all my machines (MP, MBP, iMac)...

So there really is no dedicated pro reader?
 
Yeah that's a lot for a SDHC card reader.

I assume when you say "Professional" you mean FAST?

If so go with this one assuming you have a Macbook Pro with a express slot:

Express Reader

You wouldn't be able to use it with all your machines but it transfers @ 480 mbits/s! If you copied everything to a FW hard drive you could then just copy everything to your other machines with that. Just a thought??
 
I actually use an old G4 Powerbook for ingesting P2, maybe there´s a PCMCIA CF adapter, so the old apple gets some extra use - thanks for the hint!

Still some "unibody" fast and solid palmsized sdhc reader (FW800/eSata) would be more universal and easier to set up...
