One of my major problems with computers is cables. If I want to connect anything to a computer, I need a cable. Camera, e-book reader, MP3 player, phone, everything needs a cable. And, really, if you’re going to the park you’re not gonna carry the data cable with you just in case you end up at Mary’s place and she wants the photos (but it always happens).

A tiny portable card reader would be great help, and the Mini Pocketable USB MicroSD/T-Flash Card reader is one suggestion. As you can see in the photo, it’s really small, can be attached to your keys so that you don’t lose it and plugs in directly into an USB port.

Unfortunately the downside is immediately apparent: it only reads two types of cards. If you need it for something else… tough luck, get a real card reader or take the cables along with you.

How much under $29.99?
