I love All-in-One gadgets and this is my favorite one. This combines USB hub and card reader together and delivers good performance. Construction is fine and it looks fine in silver (I personally dig the previous white one more, but it's still back-ordered). This thing accepts Memory Stick Pro Duo directly, without any Memory Stick adapter.

Works, one at a time.

Pros: This works at reading my cards, which is what I wanted it for.
I needed something that could read CF cards (I have plenty of SD readers).  After figuring out which way to insert the card (it wasn't obvious), I plugged it in, and it worked right away on Windows XP without any additional driver installation.  Just a simple USB mass storage device.
 
Cons: As far as I can tell, it only accepts one card total, at a time. Just eject your previous card and plug in a new card. Sometimes I had to unplug the entire thing from my USB port to register the new card.
This would be a problem if I used the USB hub.
 
Other Thoughts: I haven't even tested the USB hub portion.  Not much call for it on my computer, which already has about 10 or so USB ports.
 
Bottomline: Cheap. Works. Now when my device with the CF card dies, I can still read the files off it.  Worked with SD cards, too.

Could've been better

Pros: -Both a memory card reader and a USB hub in one convenient package
-Supports nearly all my memory cards and sticks
-LED indicators, for indicating stuff
 
Cons: -Cheap build quality (though that should be expected)
-Extremely short USB cord (luckily I kept a spare)
-Memory cards are very wobbly while inserted
-AC adapter would've been nice
-Doesn't support microSD/microSDHC
 
Other Thoughts: - USB connector broke after a few months.
 
Bottomline: You get what you pay for. Personally I wouldn't buy one again if I had a second chance.
 
					

Cheap, worked for a while

Pros: It worked for a while and read all of the cards I put in it. I tried it with Compact Flash, SD and xD. Each worked as expected
 
Cons: The card reader stopped working after I tried to format a CF card.  Now I can't read or write to any type of card.  I've tried CF, SC and xD. The card reader used to show up in Windows as a drive, now it doesn't.  It's like the card reader is not plugged in, expect the USB hub works
 
Other Thoughts: At least the very short cable and the USB hub still works.  The card reader is dead
 
Bottomline: If it worked I would have been happy with it. I really wanted the card reader more than the USB hub.

Card reader is USB 1.1, Hub is USB 2.0

Pros: Cheap, small, plug-and-play.

It's nice that you don't need an adapter for memory stick pro duo cards. It accepts card with and without adapter.

Cons: According to linux kernel messages, the card reader is internally connected as a USB 1.1 device, instead of a USB 2.0 device. With a 2GB memory stick pro duo card, the transfer speed is only 1 megabyte/second. In another cardreader, the same card runs at 9 megabyte/second.

The USB hub does not have this limit. It is a fully functional USB 2.0 hub, which I verified using a USB 2.0 memory stick.

Other Thoughts: The hub has a connector for an external 5V power supply, but the power adapter is not part of the package. It works perfect without power adapter, though.

Bottomline: For a little more than the price of a normal USB 2.0 hub, you'll get a USB 2.0 hub with an additional slow built-in card-reader.
