The Gadget: Kingston's 19-in-1 card reader that not only handles the standard SD, CF, MS and MMC cards, there's a native slot for microSD and MMCmicro as well. What this means is you won't need a separate adapter to fit your microSD cards into before docking—fantastic, since lots of phones now use these tiny ass cards in order to save physical space (but sacrifice storage space).

Kingston HyperX Races to 1.2GHz
They're not as flashy as the gold-plated RAM we showed you earlier and they're not as exotic as the water-cooled modules from OCZ, but when it comes to speed you can't top Kingston's new HyperX modules, which max out at the 1.2GHz mark. The HyperX DDR2 9600 (1.2GHz) and HyperX DDR2 9200 (1.1GHz) are available in 1- and 2-GB kits or as standalone modules. They're overkill for your daily needs, but are more than fast enough for your uber PC project. Pricing for the new sticks starts at $139 and skyrockets to $525 for the 2GB HyperX DDR2 9600 kit.

Kingston 8GB CompactFlash Elite Pro
Kingston Technology released an 8GB CompactFlash Elite Pro card, a Type 1 solid-state storage device which the company says transfers data at a fairly rapid clip for a CF Card. The company quotes a read speed of 8MB per second and write speed of 6.75MB per second, which is not the fastest 8GB CF card we've seen, at least as far as manufacturers' specs go. That nod would go to the SanDisk Ultra II 8GB CF card which boasts a read speed of 10MBps and a write speed of 9MBps. More »
