mag_stripe_cell.jpgSome people are, in all sincerity, too smart for their own good. Take this fellow, who MAKE reports on:

Exploring my new Siemens MC 60 mobile, I discovered an interesting feature. It has the ability to record small pieces of sound with its integrated microphone and store them as WAV files, so that you can use them later as personalized ring tones, etc...The recording feature made me think that I might use the mobile as a magnetic stripe reader, just like I did with computers with soundcards. After some tests I had successful results, so here is the process in case you are interested in doing the same.
Impressive.

Sony Hi-MD Memory Card Reader


Sony Hi-MD Memory Card Reader 08/10/2004 09:26 PM

himd_memory imageSony makes an interesting attempt at pushing their new Hi-MD format (for "High Capacity MiniDisc"), which for those of you that don't know, has a 1 gigabyte capacity. It's called the "MCMD-R1," and for good reason. What reason that is, I do not know. The aptly named device, or whatever, attaches to a Hi-MD recorder via a USB cable. Pushing the "copy" button, images will be copied from a memory card to the Hi-MD disc. An interesting idea, but I personally find the numerous drawbacks to be...drawbacky. First of all, it apparently only does images. You can't connect even it to a PC's USB port - this makes the sub $80 device quite expensive. Also, the reader does support nearly every media under the sun, but it can only read from one card at a time.

If I were Sony, I'd instead make this into a CD drive. You could press the button, and it would copy the disc's contents onto a Hi-MD. But this is on the very fringes of legality as we know it. Oh well.

spy_pen_sd.jpg image

It's sad that these days, almost anything that refers to itself as a 'spy something' is probably pretty pedestrian when it's all said and done. So while this "SPY DISK with card reader" isn't amazing, it is surprisingly enough that it actually does something cool at all. Available with internal memory sizes of 128MB or 256MB, the cap-end also functions as an SD/MMC card reader. You can't copy directly from the SD cards to the internal memory -- you'll have to copy to your PC, then back -- but it's a pretty great idea in general, even if it doesn't shoot lasers or eject poison gas. And hey, it's USB 2.0! Maybe the cheap gear is finally starting to see the light of fast transfer rates.

iomagic_datastation.jpg LogoDespite what you might expect, I think this is great: a USB external floppy drive that doubles a 7-in-1 media card reader from I/O Magic. I figure, though, that for the few people that actually still need a stinky old format like 3.5" should have to pay the extra $70 for it so the rest of us can leave them our of our PCs for good. I have a floppy drive in this box, but it's not even hooked up. I just leave it there to remind me I am enjoying a floppyless life.

Addonics 25 Function Card Reader/DVD
Burner
07/29/2004 01:10 PM

For a second I was excited about Addonics' new "MFR" device (Multifunction Recorder), a new 25-function device (so they say; I didn't count) that can read 11 different types of flash media cards and can record onto six different types of optical media (DVDs and CDs, that is). But while copying flash memory to DVD is a neat trick, and so is projecting it from the unit to a DVD or monitor, for $320 I really, really wanted this to have a hard drive in it, even if it were just a little one. Why? I don't know, I just do; mainly for using as a buffer to mix-and-match data pre-burn. That being said, for certain niche applications (field photographers, etc.) the MFR could be really handy. I wonder if you can copy from multiple cards onto a single disk at once?

If you don't need DVD burning, there's a CD-R version for about $70 less.
