DigiDrive Lets You Read and Write Seven Memory Formats

With the myriad different types of memory cards on the market, it can be frustrating to try to find a way to transfer files to your computer. If you're using a removable memory card, why should you have to transfer files using a cable? Addonics thinks it has a solution to this dilemma in its multi-format Pocket DigiDrive, which reads/writes digital AV files from seven different formats. The DigiDrive reads and writes CF-I, CF-II, Smart Memory, Memory Stick, Micro Drive, Multimedia Card, and Secure Digital Cards. It contains no moving parts, and you just plug the device into any USB 1.1 or USB 2.0-compliant port to power the drive and transfer files (no AC adapter is needed). It weighs 11 ounces and measures 4 inches (W) x 5.5 inches (D) x 1 inch (H). Addonics says the Pocket DigiDrive has a 1MB/second read/write speed and supports Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, XP, Mac OS 8.6 or higher, and Linux kernel 2.4 or higher. Once the drive is installed, an icon for each type of media automatically appears under the My Computer folder. List price of the Pocket DigiDrive is $89, which includes a USB 2.0 cable and software.
