CompactFlash cards on digital cameras, Memory Sticks on PDAs, Smart Media on MP3 players, and more. What's certain, in recent times the situation of storage card format has turned into a jungle, and more novelties loom over the horizon. A desk resembling a power generation station because of the quantity of cables and wires running all over it is nowadays a common sight, especially when one (like me) owns several devices that need to be linked to a computer. In case one also frequently needs to download files, images and music to your computer from your PDA or handheld, MP3 player, digital camera or other device and vice versa, the only solution making sense is to use a multicard reader.
To satisfy this need, Asanté, a market leader for networking systems, proposes its Gini 6in1. Thin and compact, Gini 6in1 is the perfect solution for cluttered desks but also for all who constantly travel with their laptop, thanks to its small size.
Four media slots allow you to read and write to the six most popular memory cards: Sony Memory Stick, CompactFlash (CF) Type I and II, IBM Microdrive (MD), SmartMedia (SM), MultiMediaCard (MMC), Secure Digital (SD) in no time.
Easy to install, Gini is a plug and play device compatible with PC or Mac running Windows XP/Me/98SE or Mac OS X or OS 9, requiring only a USB port.
Gini treats each memory card as a removable drive, making card-to-card or card-to-computer copies just a matter of cut and paste or drag'n'drop. In other words, using Gini is just like using a regular floppy disk drive.
Powered through the computer's USB port, thus dispensing with the need for an AC adapter or some batteries, the 6in1 media reader & writer offers transfer speeds of up to 12Mbps.
For $35 US (+ $10 mail in rebate) you can get a magic tool that will simplify your digital lifestyle. Seeing is believing.
By the time we go to press Asanté released a second version of Gini with a USB 2.0 connection capable of 480 Mbps data transfer rates.
