Now here’s a neat little accessory. Brando’s 2-in-1 SD Card Reader Cable lets your computer read SD cards while at the same time charging your miniUSB-toting cell phone. For a little extra flexibility, you could even pop in an SD/microSD adapter in there, but odds are your memory card is already in your phone and ready for a-transferrin’ by cable. When you’ve got an SD card plugged in, communication to the phone is cut off, but charging continues, which ain’t bad. A handy accessory regardless – certainly cuts down on carrying a separate SD reader. If you’re interested, you can pick it up for $12 from Brando.
