Zusammenfassung:The invention concerns a method (300) and electronic device (100) for the selective transfer of data from a removable memory element (110). The electronic device can include a port (120) that can receive the removable memory element, a memory (116) that can selectively store data from the removable memory element and a processor (114) that can be coupled to the port and the memory. The processor can be programmed to detect (316) a removal event in which the removal event can provide an indication that the removal of the removable memory element is about to occur and in response to the detection, selectively transfer (318) data from the removable memory element to the memory. The processor can be further programmed to transfer data from the removable memory element to the memory only if the data has been used by an application of the electronic device.
