Sandisk are on a roll at the minute. From humble USB drives and memory cards to snazzy (and cheap) MP3 players, Sandisk is moving up the Useful Gadget Chart. Now here’s something really useful, a memory card recorder.
Small (12.95cm x 6.6cm x 2.03cm) and shiny, the V-Mate lets you record TV, DVDs, videos etc. directly to memory cards. And, by using the Video Out connection, you can play back video on your PSP, mobile phone, notebooks and other portable media player.
Anything that takes the PC out of the whole transferring video pain-in-the-ass scenario is a good thing by me. The recording resolution is 640 x 480 and you can fit around 3.5 hours of video per gigabyte. Due out in October, the V-Mate will cost a pocket-friendly £80.

Impressive for a non-Japanese company.
