It's nice to know that manufacturers are taking the female market seriously. What do women want from gadgets? Is it a pink phone? Is it applications that tell you what make up to wear? Whatever it is, Lindy is keen to get in on that important demographic with a card reader that doubles as a vanity mirror. 

The LINDY USB 57-in-1 Mirror Card Reader supports most popular card types and their variants making it ideal for owners of digital cameras, camcorders, PDAs and mobile phones that need to transfer pictures and data easily to their computers. Compatible with PCs and Macs, the card reader has an aluminium housing, a mirror finish and comes complete with a 1m USB cable.

Of course, if you already have a card reader, then why not have a look at its USB hub instead. The LINDY USB 4 Port Mirror Hub supports both USB equipped PCs and Macs, comes with its own integrated USB cable and requires no additional power supply. Its mirror finish compact design makes it the perfect choice for laptop users wanting to connect peripherals quickly and easily.

"When we asked our development team to come up with a compact device we didn't really expect them to literally deliver a ‘compact'. Fortunately, they didn't include the powder too," said Stephen Fawcett, Senior Product Manager of LINDY Electronics. "But it's very handy for checking you haven't left a bit of marmite on your chin or seeing what your work colleagues are up to behind your back."

The LINDY USB 57-in-1 Mirror Card Reader goes on sale for £14.99 while the LINDY USB 4 Port Mirror Hub costs £9.99. More details can be found at www.lindy.co.uk.
