Redefining the Impossible

Fast USB Hub and Memory Card Reader


My new monitor has a built in USB hub and Flash Memory Card Reader. These both seem to be very fast:

  • My iPod Nano synced a 30M podcast this morning in seconds. It used to be a go-away-and-do-something-else-for-a-minute kind of task.
  • I import pictures from my camera by plugging the SD card in. Picasa then sucks 60M or so of pictures (20 x 3M) again in a second or two, including deleting the photos from the card after. This is much nicer than fiddling with USB cables.
