I wonder why USB specialist Thanko has never thought of this cool card reader and USB hub combo [JP] that looks like a toy truck. The gadget offers a total of three USB 2.0 ports and supports 13 different cards, from microSD to CF cards.

You can check out the full list of supported formats in the picture above. Plug the truck into your PC’s USB port and the headlights will start to light up or disconnect the back part if you just want to use it as a USB hub.

Made by Japan-based accessory maker Sanwa, the truck went on sale in this country a few days ago (price: $19). Contact the Rinkya online store if you’re interested in getting one but live outside Japan.
