You can probably use the Zoom Q3 as the card reader.

WOW, 
thats a great idea Mike  , the only piece of equipment I have that uses a SD card is the Q3 .
now you have me wondering , is that card the same size card dimension wise as what is in the Memory cable  ?

The memory cable uses a micro SD but I believe it comes with an adaptor to standard size.

Comes with a 4GB card, a microSD to SD card adapter, and a credit card-sized quick start. It's really, really easy to operate. I think I could do it while unconscious.

Yes, it comes with an adapter. When I first got the cable I took the microSD card out of my Android, popped in the Memory Cable card, connected the phone as a USB drive, and pulled the files off that. Later on I splurged $2.99 and got a microSD USB card reader.
 
BTW it is bidirectional - you can plug the end with the recorder into your amp or your guitar. Also, it works great with keyboards.
 
Just remember to turn on recording! The whole point is to have it always recording, don't wait until you "think" you're going to get inspired. I got a rechargeable battery so I wouldn't have to feel bad about leaving it on all the time.

Not everyone is paid as much as you Craig

Great topic! I am waiting for mine, it should be delivered soon. A question for happy owners.
I plan to use it in my effects loop like exposed below

 
In this configuration, the sound should be really close to the one going out of my amp, am I wrong ?
Do some of you try it in such a configuration (after pedal effects) ?
 
Many thanks

Now it is on sale and I think its a brilliant idea. 

BTW, I found out that you don't have to plug the end with the recorder into your guitar, you can plug it into the amp if you prefer.
 
I'm finding that my favorite "feature" is that you only need to plug one end into the guitar, the other end doesn't have to go anywhere. So recording is reduced to plug in/press button.

For those of you wondering about syncing it up latter, I use the DR 40 at all my live gigs to record my vocals and my guitar amp via the XLR inputs. I don't record my backing tracks but they leak enough into the mikes to easily use the count in to drop the file into Sonar. 
There is no drift over a 3 minute song that I can see or hear. This device is really a dr05 without built in mikes. A dr05 sells for the same price just so you know. Same device dumbed down to make it convenient. Great idea, but I'd rather have the features and the mikes. 
So if your just going to use this for secondary recording you might also consider a Tascam handy recorder.
