    Have a look at http://!!!!!!.com/65sbn for something with the same manufacturer number (CRS-22) and looks the same complete with full description... It's not just USB2 either!

    [disclaimer]
    P.S. just incase it happens to be a different set of chips and wires sneakily packaged in a similar looking box and badged with the same number please don't whinge at me ;D

    but I'm getting one anyway

    *Most* 12-in-1 readers seem to read the following cards:

    CF (Compact Flash) Type I & II
    MB (IBM Microdrive)
    SM (Smart Media)
    SD (Secure Digital)
    Mini SD (Mini Secure digital)
    MMC (Multimedia Card)
    RsMMC (Reduced size Multimedia Card)
    MS (Memory Stick)
    MS pro (Memory Stick pro)
    MS duo (Memory Stick duo)
    MS pro/duo (Memory Stick pro/duo)
    XD (Xtreme Digital)

    So I suspect this one will read xD, but very unlikely to read Mobile SIMs!

    As it is free shipping you could easily order and return under the DSR if unsuitable (and not used) without cost (subject to the pain of eBuyer's eNotes system).

    HTH - Rufus.

    Thanks very much for the replies - gone for one anyway.
  • This seems a bit more expensive than £5 now. Was going to buy one then looked on ebay. There are loads really cheap. I'd buy one from anybody on ebay after reading the comments about ebuyer linked to from this thread.

    £10.57 now?! Shame as I actually needed one & have been looking for awhile now :(
  • This is typical of Ebuyer ::)

    When they first advertise a product and have a large quantity, they start off at a bargain price.

    If sales are steady the price stays, BUT if sales increase quickly, then so does the price, in this case it has doubled.

    They seem to have an auto priceing software, that maximises profit by increasing price, directly proportional to sales volume per time unit :-X

    Has anyone seen this in use elsewhere?
    Moi....? ;)

  • Would guess it is the WEM crs-22 a  21 in 1 card reader that Turnip found.

    12 in one will either be a mirror-typo or a downgrade with trades description in mind as there seems to be a bit of Chinese spin on the way to 21 ;)

    So not bad for an XD capable box, sorry milgo but they havent got round to a sim slot yet.
    There are dedicated ones around tho.

    HTHs Scat ;)

    PS milgo a couple of SIM CARD READERS, here and Here
