USB Cable Features Clever Inline SD Card Reader [Peripherals]
Gizmodo —
Here's a simple, fantastic idea. This otherwise standard USB cable adorns its wire with an inline SD card reader, creating a 2-in-1 SD reader/USB cable. Apparently it's not just an either/or scenario. The cable can simultaneously charge a mini-USB device and transfer photos to your hard drive. Plus if microSD is more your speed, there's a version for that, too. Either cable will cost you $12. [Brando via CrunchGear]

This USB Cable Has a Card Reader in It
The UberReview —
I am finding myself amazed at the amount of useful stuff that is coming out of Brando these days. Here is a cool idea, a standard USB cable, with a card reader built into it; thus eliminating the need for a standalone card reader and reducing the amount of USB cables that will clutter your desk by one.

Simplicity is perhaps the ultimate sophistication, and unless we agree otherwise, churning things to be simple and realistic helps the mere cause of innovation. Such is this mini-USB cable with an inline SD card reader from Brando , which with utmost simplicity combines the USB cable and the SD card. The $12 cable helps in transferring files and photos from the SD card and also assists in charging portable devices via USB.

... e outra para Micro SD(HC)/T-Flash, ambas por US$12.
Apesar de não serem lindos, os cabos são muito úteis e funcionam como 2-em-1, recarregando um dispositivo mini-USB ao mesmo tempo em que podem transferir fotos, por exemplo, para o seu disco rígido.
Os cabos são compatíveis com PCs rodando o Windows 2000 ou XP/Vista e Macs com o sistema clássico 9.0 ou superior (incluindo o Mac OS X, é claro).

USB Cable Includes Integrated SD Card Reader

... and your computer will start reading the SD card. Whatever you have plugged into the cable will continue charging, though.
At the moment, the SD reader only only works one way on the cable, but it would be pretty neat if you somehow had the option to read the card from the device you had plugged in, or vice versa. Even so, it’s a steal at $12, considering you could easily pay that much for a USB cable or a card reader.

Funky miniUSB Cable Reads SD cards too!

... 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.
