USB Memory Card Reader With Compact Mirror. Verdict: Wacky!

So, sometimes you need to check to see if your lipstick is okay, and sometimes you need to download data from a memory card. To do both of those you need a device to help you out. But why would you combine both devices into one gizmo? I suppose it could save space in your purse if you're a really habitual memory-card and mirror user. Anyway, this product reads a broad range of cards, except for Compact Flash, is just 2.5 x 2.2 x 0.8 inches, has built-in USB plug and you can always stash spare cards inside. Yours in gray or blue for $15. [Gadget4All]

The reader supports SD, MMC, T-Flash and MemorySticks of all varieties, is USB 2.0 for speed, and if its triangular goodness appeals to you, you can find it in black, white and orange for $15.

PS2 Memory Card Modchip Gets Competitor

It's only been two days since the first PlayStation 2 Memory Card slot modchip was announced, but a separate group has popped up and and claimed that they've been working on a similar product for two years. The new chip, as of yet unnamed, works as a 32MB memory card and has a USB port so you can upload and download files. Full specs to come soon. Seeing as the PS3 has all of three playable games on it, this still could have quite a big audience. [MaxConsole]

Finally - An ExpressCard Memory Card Reader

Mac owners like to take photos too. But laptop card readers are made for old-fashioned PC Card slots, not the skinny little ExpressCard slots on MacBooks and ever-more PC laptops. So Kensington has come out with what we think is the first ExpressCard reader - which handles seven memory card formats. Avialble at the end of January for $40.

New SD Memory Card "Discussed" at CES

Another year, another memory card specification. Though I have to admit, it certainly isn't a bad thing that the SD Card Association (SDA) has announced that they're finalizing specifications to expand SD card capacity beyond 2GB, to a new card called the SDHC Memory Card. The new specification is promising a minimum SD Speed Class Rating, which for video products, is equivalent to MPEG-2 video, as well as the expanded capacity needed to help deliver new applications made possible by three other SD specifications: SD-Audio, SD-Video and SD-Binding.
