Apple Logo USB Flash Card Reader

File this under "cool stuff" or "stuff that could never be produced in the U.S. because of licensing rules". A company in Hong Kong (sure looks like HK to me; please correct me if I'm wrong), has produced an 8-in-one flash card reader that plugs into your computer's USB port, and it's in the shape of the Apple logo. I've got one on order; I'll let you know if it works with Mac OS X (as advertised).

Thanks to Jim Buck who runs the Interesting Stuff from Japan weblog.

A co-worker brought one like this back from Hong Kong last year, except that it's labeled "33-in-1" (because there's a few types of CF, a bunch of types of SD, etc...) and a short cable instead of the integrated plug. Works fine with OS X (and why the hell wouldn't it - it's a card reader...); doesn't work with the iPod camera connector.

...but the REAL problem is wheather or not it works with the iPod Camera Connector, to enable what would be a long-battery-life limitless-image-storage utopia
