USBTorch.jpg

Brando Workshop is quickly becoming my favorite source of charmingly unusual products. Remember the secret spy handbag from last week? Brando is at it again.

Its latest is a rechargeable flashlight (or "torch," if you're stuffy) that connects to your computer via a USB port. It comes in two parts: a cap with three bright LED lights and a body that holds the battery. Remove the cap to expose the USB connector.

So far, so good, right? Well, it's also a memory card reader. Why not? It can handle SDHC, SD, and MMC cards out of the box, and MiniSD, T-Flash, MicroSD, and MicroSDHC cards with an adapter. I don't know if the product includes adapters. I doubt it.

This wonderful combination works with Windows and Macintosh systems and costs only $12. Choose a black or white model. If anyone actually orders one, let me know in the comments.
