Addonics Mini DigiDrive, $40,

Raise your hand if your desktop PC lacks a drive to read and write small memory cards for cameras, MP3 players, laptops, and PDAs. No matter what type of card you have, the Addonics Mini DigiDrive can handle it. This 3-ounce USB flash media drive is about the size of an audiocassette and handles seven different formats with aplomb. Plug the 3-foot cable into a USB port on your PC or notebook, and the device adds up to four different drive letters to your computer to handle various memory cards simultaneously.
