Kingston does it again with microSD reader bundle
Check this little guy out! Kingston has just introduced a tiny USB reader made specifically to support the microSD cards that are increasingly being used for data storage in phones and other mobile devices. This unit is literally the same size as the tip of my index finger. Kingston is offering two bundles – the reader plus a 1GB ($19.00) or 2GB ($37.00) microSD card at about the price you’d expect to pay for the memory alone.
I have one hanging on my keychain and makes swapping photos, videos, music, and podcasts to and from the Nokia N95 easy as can be – and much faster than relying on Bluetooth or remembering to carry a mini-USB cable with me.
