6 in 1 Card Reader
£19.95


Pros
Versatile ‘plug-it-in-and-forget-about-it’ multimedia card reader
Cons
None to speak of
Verdict
A practical must-have device


Copying sounds and images from your various digital cameras, MP3 players and DV cameras onto your PC is usually straightforward -- assuming you can dig out the relevant cable from the collection hanging on the doorknob.

For a few quid however, you can avoid cable confusion with one of these, a Palm-sized reader that accepts six kinds of storage card: Memory Stick, CompactFlash, IBM Microdrives, MMC cards, SD cards and SmartMedia cards. Simply plug the reader into a spare USB socket and every time you slot in a new card, it appears on the Windows desktop like any other disk drive.
