Elecom, the Japanese maker of high-tech, high-quality accessories and peripherals for computers (such as a laser mouse and an ergonomic mouse pad) has introduced yet another winner. This one is a card reader able to process information from 20 different card formats.

Toting around Memory Sticks? Plug them in here. How about CompactFlash or SmartMedia? No problem. This device does it all!

The sheer number of formats available is astounding, yet the relative size of the device is even more remarkable. It’s just 96x61x18mm. It runs on USB 2.0 and allows for every single one of your card formats, all in one handy (and eminently portable) device.

The Multi Card Reader comes in two colors, black and silver.
