Multi-Card Reader Boosts Efficiency

Lots of different memory cards means lots of different card readers. I have to wonder why we didn't think of something like a multi-card reader sooner, but better late then never.

The guys and gals and Elecom are the ones to bring us this to make our lives of travel ten times easier (and lighter). ALl of your problems are solved with one USB port and their MR-C12 USB 2.0 card reader.

The whole thing comes wrapped in a small package with an opening lid under which all of your cards are safely tucked away for storage. The actual cards it supports include SDHC, SD, MMC, xD, and Memory Stick MagicGate/Pro/Duo cards.

It'll ship October 20th for a reasonable $29 bucks, and we'll have a color choice of red, white, black, or blue, though they actually all have a silver lid taking up the majority of the body. Elecom, we salute you.

A USB...Seat Warmer

USB ports are so useful, aren't they? Except for when they're wasted. We've seen USB utilized to send convenience through the roof, and we've also seen it used to keep your drinks cool. I suppose that's the kind of diversity you get, but come on.

The gadget in question now is Thanko's USB Warmer Cushion. It's function seems obvious; plug 'er up, it warms your rump. I suppose if you had a metal chair or something, which doesn't seem that common, this could possibly be useful. Perhaps I'm just not seeing the light because I never leave my chair; it's always warm.

At any rate, if you're a big fan of heated seats and this turns you on, you can pick one up for about $26 frosties. And for what it's worth, this baby also works on the included USB AC Charger. Plus, the cushion can be easily removed and washed, if you can pry yourself off of it.

Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard

When you think about the future of tech, lasers usually come to mind. Well, for me at least. Now there is this laser keyboard, a very small, even "pocketable", device that displays a virtual, full size keyboard on the flat surface of your choice.
And what's better than simulated click sounds when you press the "buttons?" One of my favorite things about this product is, it's connected by blue tooth. So if your computer doesn't support blue tooth, either get a dongle already, or get a computer made in the past couple of years! But what else does this "blue tooth" mean? Well, it means you can plug the keyboard into your cell phone or pda and type away with precision and speed while your peers look on with hate and jealousy. Gone are the days of cramped fingers and "Mini QWERTY Phone Keyboards" that are really just made to give you arthritis. The time has come to scare amaze people with lasers. What's better, the keyboard plugs in to recharge, so no batteries, and a charge usually lasts around 2 hours of continuous typing. Now, you should know this gadget is a little pricey. $180. Yeah, seems expensive, but some people spend that on gaming keyboards, why not on a laser keyboard? If cool is at the top of your priority list, then this keyboard is for you.
