A module incorporating a flash memory and a flash memory controller. The flash memory controller receives data via a first interface which can be a PCMCIA type interface. The data is then stored in the flash memory. The controller is adapted to be able to selectively recall the data from the flash memory and transmit the data to one or more recipient devices via the PCMCIA type interface or by an alternate interface. The module incorporates a user input device that, when manipulated by the user, induces the controller to send the data via the alternate interface. In one embodiment, the alternate interface is comprised of a GSM interface which allows data stored in the flash memory to be transmitted via a cellular telephone to a pre-selected telephone number by the user manipulating the user input device.

1. A flash memory module comprising:a flash memory for storing data; a data bus that provides data to the flash memory; a controller coupled to the flash memory, wherein the controller retrieves data stored in the flash memory and formats the data into a first interface configuration for subsequent transmission to an external device and wherein the controller in response to an external input formats the data into an alternative interface configuration for subsequent transmission to an external device; and a memory device wherein configuration information is stored that is adapted to be used by the controller to translate the data stored in the flash memory into the alternative interface configuration for subsequent transmission to the external device.
