55 in 1 card reader hubI want my gadgets to multi-task. The 55-in-1 Bluetooth card reader and USB hub (that's right, 55) is up to the challenge, and then some. The card reader supports nearly every form of media card, ever, including multiple versions of CompactFlash, different types of Sony Memory Stick, SD, and more. Simply plug the media card of your choice into the appropriate ports on the side. When powered and active, LEDs on top of the card reader light up and change colors.

Additionally, this card reader has three USB ports on the top--one for power and the other two for data, so you can plug in your USB flash drive to it as well to transfer data from the drive and any inserted cards to your computer.

But wait, there's more. The card reader also has built-in Bluetooth, so you can rest the card reader anywhere on your desk and transfer data to your computer via Bluetooth instead of running a USB cable to the hub. If your desktop or laptop doesn't have built-in Bluetooth, don't worry: the card reader ships with a Bluetooth dongle. There are still some remaining questions about the device, like whether or not it can transfer data from a USB drive over Bluetooth. Either way, if it works as described, it's an impressive device, especially considering it only costs $29.
