52 in 1 Card Readers
How did we get into this situation? 52 formats for memory cards! Granted some of the cards are the same format just a higher speed version, but why can’t gadget manufacturers settle on at most 3 media cards.
Well with 52 formats you should be covered for whatever formats you encounter or gadgets you buy during a trip.
It’s not as if they vary tremendously in volume and memory storage sizes. OK the CF cards are a little larger but SD and MMC are pretty damn close in size, both physically and storage wise.
This MSI 52 in 1 “StarReader” card reader is the most portable unit I’ve seen so far.
Want to go even more insane?! How about a 52 in 1 with Bluetooth, huh? How about that?
This Hong Kong company has one for you. The “Dtech" memory card reader with Bluetooth with “multi moody colours indicate power ON” and a reasonable $25. This unit is larger than the MSI so I normally wouldn’t recommend a larger unit but if you are travelling and don’t already have a Bluetooth unit this might do you.
However, it needs a cable so a small Bluetooth adapter with the MSI might actually take up less space without the hassle of hooking up a USB travel cable.
