Review|Sanwa Supply microSD card reader

Since I've moved on to the microSD card format. Ok ok, TBH I still have one 2Gb miniSD for my Canon IXUS50, but my TyTN II and Nokia 6267 have 2Gb and 1Gb microSD cards respectively, so majority of my devices are microSD. I've decided it's time to invest in a portable card reader.

I still carry my microSD to miniSD and miniSD to SD adapters because of my Boy Scout training! Actually they remind me of Matryoshka dolls

This tiny little thing actually reads microSD and microSDHC cards [upto 4Gb only]. It comes with a loop so you can attach it to your mobile/device like a phone charm. There's nothing more to be said really... it's small, USB 2.0, PnP [plug n play, XP, Vista, Apple] and gets the job done. I'm not too worried about it not reading higher capacity microSDHC cards because I don't plan to invest in SDHC just yet. Still waiting for the prices to go down some more besides I'm content with 2Gb for now atleast... :D

Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...
