Kingston has launched a new microSD USB reader and card bundle in 1GB and 2GB formats.  This handy little device makes transfer data between a cell phone and a PC a snap. 

"Kingston saw an opportunity to serve mobile customers with our new USB microSD card/reader bundle,” said Wendy Lecot, Flash marketing manager, Kingston®. "Consumers now have a handy option to back up contact info when changing phones; move digital music and videos between PC and phone more easily; and download new mobile applications for mobile phones without using additional network time,” continued Lecot.

Designed with a USB connector and memory expansion slot that accepts the microSD card format, the mobile device-ready reader bundle eliminates the need to carry additional USB cables and reduces wait times typically associated with Bluetooth® transfers between cell phones and PCs.
