Plain MicroSD Card Reader Brings Out the Nail Technician in You
The Giz, as you know, is a big fat fan of modding (and, it goes without saying, big fat modders) but this moddable MicroSD card reader from ADTEC in Japan is definitely one for the girly girls. Plain, cheap and plastic in the before pic, hit the jump to see the tasteful "after" picture. More »

Kingston DataTraveler Micro is a USB Stick with MicroSD Card Reader
USB thumb drives stopped being cool about 10 years ago, but what happens when you stick a microSD card reader on board? It gets cool again, that's what. Kingston's DataTraveler Micro does just that, and even holds up to 4GB of onboard memory inside the thumbdrive itself. The reader can read not only microSD cards, but microSDHC and Memory Stick Micro (M2). Prices are $19, $28 and $42 for the 1, 2 and 4GB models respectively. [Kingston]

SanDisk's New 12GB microSDHC Card Is World's Largest, Jumping to 16GB This Summer
The Scoop: SanDisk's latest microSDHC card has 12GB of storage, the fattest microSDHC card ever. But! It's only a proof of concept. According to the booth reps, the actual release model in June will be a whopping 16GB, double the previous biggun'.The Catch: Um, none, except more gigs=more dollars. [SanDisk]

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).

Pacific Defence Pen Doubles As James Bond Bluetooth Camcorder
This working pen is ridiculously awesome, if you believe the uncorroborated early reports:• At under 6 inches long and just a half inch thick, it records 320x240 video at 30fps, even in low light.
• You can set it to start recording video when it detects motion, or recording audio when it hears a sound.
• It takes MicroSD flash cards, and can transfer video wirelessly via Bluetooth.
• You can program it to send an alarm wirelessly to a "remote location."
Gizmag warns "some specs may be altered before final release"—I'm more concerned that there's no mention of it on Pacific Defence's website. [Gizmag]

...per bit, from a 1GB SD card. We saw the 32GB SDHC monster at CES where they were announced, but Toshiba just announced their availability in Japan for $700. There's an 8GB microSD card, and a 16GB SD card, too. It's nice to realize that all our phones and computers could one day pack their memory footprint in something the size of a postage stamp.

Carrying around a spare SD, miniSD or microSD card in your pocket is just asking for accidental misplacement. But this little SD Card-eating man is the perfect thing to keep your memory cards close to your cellphone and camera while livening it up at the same time. Fun and practical, something those those sexy lingerie cellphone straps can only meet halfway. [Funshop via Oh Gizmo]

The Firefly flyPhone (OMG, IT RHYMES WITH iPHONE!) is a phone geared towards children with a fuller feature set than the original Firefly Phone. The new model has an actual keypad, a camera, memory expansion via MicroSD, and music/video playback. But this phone doesn't exactly strike us as kid-friendly. Not only will parents have to get their children glasses because they strained their eyes looking at the micro screen, but they'll have to save their young ones from choking on the MicroSD card. Pricing and release info not available. [Phone Scoop]

Hands-On With Kingston's microSD Card Reader Bundles
It seems almost all the new cellphones we see have switched over to using the tiny microSD cards for external storage, which means in order to transfer up some data you're going to have to carry around both a microSD to SD adapter and a standard card reader. What a pain. With Kingston's microSD Card Reader bundles, all you have to carry is the tiny microSD USB adapter. What could be easier?More »

Golden Piggy MicroSD Card Reader is Definitely Creepy
If we had a "weird gadget of the day," I'm fairly confident that this would be it. This is a pretty simple MicroSD card reader, but it is in the shape of a pig—a gold pig. If pigs weren't scary enough as it is, now they are terrifying my dreams in shiny gold. Just look at the little pig and his removable head and satanic eyes gazing into your soul. Scared yet? You should be. $8. More »

OCZ Trifecta: Swiss Army Knife of Storage/Sausage
The OCZ Trifecta combines SD, MicroSD, and USB into one super device that may not be a creation of Earth. I's kinda like if one were to combine bacon grease, butter and lard in one package; it's pretty sure to get the job done, whatever it may be. More »

SanDisk Mobile Premier microSD Cards Faster But Deem Normal Flash Cards Untrustworthy
This fresh out of CeBIT: SanDisk rolled out its Mobile Premier line of microSD memory card aimed at cellphone users. The cards will be offered in 1GB ($53) and 2GB ($82) trim, and the company says they're faster than the average flash memory card, reading and writing at around 10MB per second. Available this spring, they'll include an adapter so you can use these tiny chips in regular SD-sized slots. More »
