IOGEAR Transfers Digital Memories for Consumers

March 14 /PRNewswire/ -- IOGEAR launches its hi-speed, bi-directional Pocket Card Reader that makes digital and data transfers to and from Macs and PCs more convenient and less time-consuming.

The Plug-n-Play device features MultiMedia Card (MMC) and Secure Digital Card (SD) readers. It supports USB 2.0, making data transfers four times faster than the standard digital camera connection, with speeds up to 480 Mbps. The compact device is also hot swappable, allowing PC storage cards to be easily replaced without having to restart the computer.

The PC- and Mac-compatible drive is specifically designed for digital cameras, but is also ideal for using with Palmtop PCs, Handheld PCs, PDAs and Voice Recorders. The Pocket Card Reader is priced at $14.95 and is available immediately from all major catalog resellers, online resellers and selected retail outlets.

"IOGEAR is aiming to bridge the gap between cameras and PCs while providing consumers with a practical device," said Miranda Su, vice president of sales and marketing at IOGEAR. "The remarkably fast transfer rates make this device stand out, and its compact size makes it an easy accessory to carry around on a keychain."

IOGEAR's Pocket Card Reader is fully compatible with USB 2.0 and backwards compatible with USB 1.1. It also comes with IOGEAR's three-year limited warranty. For further information on IOGEAR products, please visit www.iogear.com.
