Elecom's simplistic multicard reader mounts nicely on walls, desks

Still using that heap from 1999 that shipped sans a multicard reader? We know, it's tough. As does Elecom, who has just pumped out a foursome of new flash card readers for those less fortunate among us. The token one, however, is the sticky guy pictured above, which can actually be mounted on one's wall or desk side in order to maintain your precious desk space up top. You know -- 'cause all that paperwork scattered about is so critical. Mum's the word on a price or release date, but if we had to guess, we'd say "cheap" and "soon enough."

Looks a lot like the touchstone charger.

I'm really liking the idea of a separate microSD slot so I don't have to drag around my freakin adapter. That's enough to get me to buy this.

Mac compatible? My girlfriend would adore this for her previous gen iMac.

Headline Writer: Your assignment for today is to look up the word "simplistic".
I think you mean "simple".

Nice and small but no CF slot.

I think it is a great idea and form factor. If there was a black version I'd like one stuck to the side of my desk support out of the way but still in easy reach rather than cluttering up the top of my desk.

That would be awesome wireless.

"That's what she-"

Wait.. no.

First it was someone 'waxing poetically', and now it's a 'simplistic card reader'.

Come on Engadget. This is embarrassing.

It looked like a red pot to me at first.

Must lay off the Oreos.

no card reader beats my red bridge!

add a usb port to it and it'd be PERFECT!
