Axiz recently announced the arrival of an ultra-portable and convenient device duo that gives you a swift means of moving photos, video clips, music and other files from mobile phone to PC or vice versa. This mobile-ready bundle is the Kingston USB microSD reader.
Gail Kruger, Kingston Flash Product Manager, Axiz, explains that the reader is designed with a USB connector and a memory expansion slot that accepts a microSD/microSDHC card. “With this mobile-ready bundle, you'll eliminate the need to carry additional USB transfer cables and the typical wait for Bluetooth technology's slow file transfers between phones and PCs. It also replaces your SD card adapter since the microSD/microSDHC card fits directly into the reader.”
When in use, the microSD/microSDHC card reader appears as a drive letter (E:\) and data transfer is as simple as drag-and-drop. Use the reader with the included Kingston 2GB microSD or 4GB microSDHC card and you'll have the storage capacity to do a variety of helpful transfers or acquire content to side-load to your phone including:
* Backing up your contact information when you change phones.
* Moving your digital music library stored on your PC for use on your phone.
* Transferring a video composed on your camera phone to upload to a Web site without using additional network minutes to move it there.
* Downloading new mobile applications on your PC for use on your phone without using network time.
“Store your entire mobile life - photos, songs, text messages, video clips, personal information - on a microSD/microSDHC card, then work with it across device platforms seamlessly with the microSD card reader,” Kruger says.
The reader is backed by a two-year warranty and Kingston service and support. It's available in a stylish red and a basic black, and a keychain is included so that you can hang it from your phone for the convenient solution you need to complement your mobile lifestyle.
Kruger says the microSD card alone provides plenty of removable storage for music, games, ringtones, photos, movies and other applications on mobile phones.
”Slip the microSD card into the miniSD adapter and transform it into a miniSD storage card for personal media players, smartphones, MP3 players or other miniSD-enabled devices. Capture photos from your digital camera by making the microSD a full-size SD card with the adapter and then view images with the Kingston SD-enabled readers or on your TV's SD slot. You can also quickly and easily save files on a notebook computer with a full-size SD slot when the SD adapter is used with the microSD card.”
All cards come with a lifetime warranty and 24/7 technical support.
Recommended retail prices are R135 (2GB) and R257 (4GB), excluding VAT. For more information: Gail Kruger, Product Manager: Kingston Flash. Tel: 011 237 7230. E-mail: gailk@axiz.co.za. Web site: http://www.axiz.com.
