Have I lost my recordings?
I had a bunch of voice recordings on my HTC Desire phone. However, I then used the SD card from it to make video clips on my Muvi mini camera. Since then, I can't seem to find the voice recordings on my HTC Desire again. Are they hidden somewhere, or has the video recorded over the voice recordings?! Thanks

Wireless usb adaptor
Im wanting to get the laptop wirelessly connected and was thinking of buying something like this, anyone bought 1 and was happy or has anyone bought a similar 1 ? Something of that size would be quite good as less likely to get damaged as its small compared to the longer usb wireless devices you can get.
