Trust my Card Reader

Advantages: reliable, USB2, vista compat, 42 different formats, lively lighty up bits
Disadvantages: bit boring to look at

...I bought this card reader at that famous hit-tech computer store ;) Tesco. So I didn't expect that much especially at the price but it was going to be better than my ultra cheap no name card reader it replaced. I've been using this card reader now for about 9 months. It cost £9.00 when I bought it so I didn't expect too much. But it surpassed my expectations and has beaten off my attempts to replace it with newer more modern units (usually ones advertising it will read 99 different card types and ones which are much much prettier). The Trust EasyConnect Card Reader is a USB 2 device which does its job without fuss or fault. It accepts cards via the front panel or the back panel and handles (amongst othersCompact Flash, Mini Drive, SMC, XD (for Fuji and Olympus), MS, MMC, and SD cards. Basically, if you have a memory card for your...

Jessops USB Smartmedia Card reader - Serial Killer

Advantages: Upload Speed, Increased Battery Life
Disadvantages: None

...I've been putting up with slow upload on my Olympus C2020Z digital camera for over a year, but when I got a 32Mb card it was painfully slow - like watching paint dry. So I finally bought a Jessops USB Smartmedia Card Reader and it's great. The installation on a Windows 98 PC is simple, the card comes with a CD with the appropriate drivers, and has bundled Piccolo thumbnail software for viewing and sending files to Jessops over the internet for printing, though I've not tried that service yet. The USB Card reader is powered via the USB port, and comes with an extension cable which makes it easy to connect to a desktop PC. Once installed and with a Smartmedia card inserted, it appears as a new removable drive. Piccolo will automatically catalogue all your pictures on your PC, and a thumbnail viewer will launch. I close them down...

Tiny Reader...Vast Capability

Advantages: Takes 18 different cards
Disadvantages: Possible problem recognising reader when online

...easily which certainly comes in handy. It is also worth mentioning that this card reader is backwards compatible unlike some readers with USB 1.1. I have personally no need for this though it might be handy to know. This card reader works on Microsoft Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP and is also Mac OS 9 and X compatible and when loading up the card reader onto the computer is has a handy plug in and play feature. ********************** PLUG IN AND PLAY ********************** On first loading the card reader onto my computer I found it extremely easy that even my computer beginner mum would be able to do (and trust me that is saying something!). I did not even have to do a thing as the simple plug in and play installed the driver software for me automatically, not freezing my computer and some device installations do. It only took about 30...

Sony e reader

Advantages: lightweight
Disadvantages: not cheap

...**** Sony E Reader **** I really enjoy reading but somehow my suitcase always ends up really heavy so when i saw that my local Waterstones had some in stock i decided to purchase one.At 199 quid its not cheap but i felt i could easily spend that on buying the books alone. **What is it?** Basically it is an electronic device that you can store books on.The memory size you get with it holds up to 160 books but there is also slots for you to add extra memory if needed,not that you would need it. **Pros** One of the best things about this is that you do not have to carry loads of books around with you. Books are cheaper on the ereader than they are to buy normally and when you buy the ereader from Waterstones it comes with 100 classic books so if you are like me and would read these anyway the ereader pays for itself. It can...

Review of Sony Portable Reader PRS-505

Trust Trust for Audio

Advantages: USB Connection, Fantastic looks and style, decent quality sound.
Disadvantages: Slightly flimsy.

...be clear on this one - If you have a modern soundcard, it'll operate and work perfectly through USB ports, not just your bog standard sound port. I came across the Trust Soundforce 2012 USB when browsing the guys display. They looked rather snazzy in their stylishly modeled box, infact it was their streamlined, rather snazzy apperance which pretty much clinched the purchase actually. The price was 14.99, which is fair for a pair of USB speakers, thus I bought them without hesistation. So How Were They? Upon swiftly plugging the 2012's in the USB port, they worked immediately after the PC detected them as a "USB Audio Device" (we were running XP). Thats all it really takes to install a 2 speaker system. The speakers worked in conjunction with the Soundblaster 24 bit card perfectly, and require no updating/software changes to...

A Card Reader Don't Arf Save Yer Batteries

Advantages: One bit of kit allows both mp3 player and camera to upload/download
Disadvantages: Oh no, there goes my last USB port!

...Since buying my Frontier Labs NEX II MP3 player, I have come to realise a few things about how it dovetails, or doesn?t, with the rest of my computer-based kit. Firstly, let?s kick off with the major ?pro?. It uses the same memory modules as my digital camera, i.e. Compact Flash II cards, or in my case, IBM Microdrives, which are a tiny hard drive built to interface in the same way as the solid state CF2 modules. This means that I can stick to one type, and therefore not need as many chips sitting around doing very little in between listening to music/taking photos. Now for the ?Cons?. 1.Both the camera and the player has its own USB connecting cable which is not the same at the hardware end, so a scramble round the back of the PC is needed to swap cables over. My other USB port is in use by my scanner. 2.When...

Review of Sandisk Imagemate compact flash USB reader/writer

I don't trust Trust (Trust USB Light)

Advantages: Looks.
Disadvantages: Light, clip.

...The first of my USB lights, which made me realize those things probably aren't supposed to do the job I had expected them to. It's small, cheap, looks good and cute, but I found it useless. The cable is way too short and the clip cannot be attached to the laptop's lid side without risking the screen getting scratched, so the only stabile and safe position is on the top of the lid. I always got the light's reflection on the screen which bothered me, so the light was in the way of the screen and at the same time it wasn't strong enough to illuminate the keyboard satisfactorily. I didn't think it should be like a 4OWatt bulb, but this just wasn't enough. The beam which does reach the keyboard is a size of a Pringles crips, the rest sinks in darkness. You will find it annoying also if your laptop has USB ports only on sides, coz then...
