If you’re like me, you’ve got digital photos stored on all sorts of media – Compact Flash, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Secure Digital and Smart Media. Getting all of those out of a digital camera and onto a PC just isn’t that easy.
Now, with Mobile Edge’s 12-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader/Writer, you can read and write to 12 different media – all of those I’ve already mentioned as well as Multi-Media and IBM Micro Drive. With an adapter, you can add Reduced Size Multi-Media, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo, Mini Secure Digital and Mini SD. (Who even knew there were this many formats!)
The compact, portable design features over-current detection and protection of each port; high-speed USB 2.0 transfer rates of up to 480mbps; and true plug-and-play and hot-swap.
If that wasn’t enough, it’s on sale through the Mobile Edge site for $24.99, reduced from its regular price of $29.99.

This is the same card reader that PCMall (http://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/shop/detail~dpno~446260.asp) and MacMall (http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail~dpno~446260.asp)have been offering for free after rebate for the last six months, albeit under the I ROCKS brand name. I think this is a loss leader for PCMalls/MacMalls/ecost.com (they are all the same company), along with the I ROCKS usb hub. It always pays to shop around.
Comparison shopping is always a good idea for any gadget of interest ...
