One reader, 55 cards

(Credit: Brando)

Brando is a company that makes some decidedly goofy gadgets (who doesn't?) but it also has figured out a decidedly practical strategy: making all-in-one technologies.

We're not talking about grotesque mutations but useful devices such as a single dock for iPods, PSPs and cell phones. That seems to have been the driving philosophy behind the "55-in-1 card reader," which I4U News says will work with all manner of storage cards, including "SDHC / SDHC 2.0 cards, MicroSD/T-Flash, miniSD, Memory Stick Micro (M2)"--all without adapters, for just $28.

This is exciting news, because it means we can finally toss that crate of readers and adapters sitting in our garage. If we can ever find it.

Useful for some

Well its a great product at an AMAZING price, but for me most 3 in 1 card readers are fine for me, they incororate the most popular types of digital memory used. I'm sure that many out there will find it useful because there are endless amounts of odd ball memory out there. On a different note I hope to see micro hard drives used widely in digital cameras, great storage but of course it would eat up battery life time.
