The Kingston MobileLite 9-in-1CardReader is the only device you need to store, transfer and read data on any USB enabled device. As I use a variety of flash cards for mobile phone, digital camera and camcorder.
This cardreader is designed with a USB 2.0 connector which is ideal to connect via you PC or laptop. It has memory expansion slots that support nine different types of SD and MMC flash memory cards. It also comes with a 1 GB SD memory card for free, what more would you want.
This device is called mobile for a reason, as its small and compact it's ideal to take with you anywhere. You won't find a smaller more compact cardreader on the market which carries a respectable name as Kingston. I have another cardreader which I use for my PC, I bought this because it was cheap and had free 1GB SD memory card with it. I use this ...
Advantages: reliable, USB2, vista compat, 42 different formats, lively lighty up bits Disadvantages: bit boring to look at
me with all the cardreaders I have used.
The case is a brushed aluminum/steel finish and feels very solid. It measures about two by three inches. Although it is USB 2 it will work on USB 1.1 as well.
It comes with velcro tabs/tape so you can attach it to the side of your computer but I'd advise against it as you don't really get the chance to use both sides. Just stick it on top of a modem or something and it'll sit happily shining its bright blue light until you need it.
I've used it with XD cards, Compact Flash cards, SD and Mini SD cards and it has behaved impeccably throughout. I just bought a far sexier looking one this morning which boasts reading 55 (yes 55!) different card types and had a mirrored case (am I sucker for a shiny toy or what?) but still prefer the old faithful.
I'm happy with this device.... it might ...
Advantages: Compact, quick and reads 54 types of memory cards Disadvantages: n/a
So, there I was with one of those digital camera problems, plug the camera into the PC download the pictures to my hard drive, Oh the batteries have run out after x amount of pictures transferred.
So I checked out the net for a cardreader that would take XD type memory cards, now most of the them didn't take the XD format, but then I came across the Mikomi 54 in1, yes 54 in one, I didn't realise that there were so many memory cards out there.
So I reserved my cardreader at Argos.co.uk and then popped down to my nearest branch and picked it up, a bargain at £9.99.
The first thing that amazed me when I got home was how small the reader actually is, it is: 6cm square and 1.5cm thick, in the box you get the reader (of course Lol), a USB cable, CD (driver & Instructions) and quick instructions.
Ok, so was it easy to install ...
