Product DescriptionSanDisk introduces Hi-Speed USB 2.0, multi-card MobileMate card reader targeted at the rapidly expanding market for new mobile feature phones with memory card slots. The sleek, stylish, silver-metallic reader is among the smallest multi-card readers in the world. It is about the length and width of a stick of gum and slip easily into any pocket. The MobileMate MS+ 4-in-1 reader has one slot for Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo. The flash memory cards can be plugged directly into the reader. No card adapters are required.
Handy little memory card reader (Rating: 5 out of 5) The MobileMate MS is a great little way of reading memory sticks that doesn't get in the way.
Flimsy (Rating: 2 out of 5) It does the job but is very flimsy.
The memory stick is inserted sideways and is not locked in place causing it to drop out with ease.
The side slot also creates an awkward shape and at times can not be inserted in tight USB slots.
do you really need it? (Rating: 4 out of 5) Good SanDisk quality.
I bought it along with a cybershot and a 2GB sandisk MS. My computer has a built in card reader and the cybershot comes with a PC-camera cable so I haven't had to use it although it works. I think I'll sell it or give it to someone else.
fast shipping (Rating: 3 out of 5) all i can say about this product is that amazon shipped it extremely quickly. unfortunately, i did not get to use mine, since the first day i got it i added it on with my keys. big mistake, the cap was really loose and it soon fell some where and got lost. but that is not amazon's fault, it's just poor design.
Love the MobileMate; Hate the Packaging (Rating: 4 out of 5) OPEN WITH CARE!
The MobileMate does exactly what I want--it allows me to dispense with the bulky USB/AV cable that came with my Sony DSC-H9 camera and carry something that takes up much less space in my camera bag.
Also, the MobileMate was an easy plug'n'play with the USB 2.0 ports in my laptop, which uses the Vista operating system. This was a very good thing since I inadvertently cut in two the tiny CD that comes concealed in the MobileMate's packaging. Another reviewer compared opening the package with getting into Fort Knox. (Fort Knox was easier.) I thought they were exaggerating until I tried opening the package myself. Also, there is no way to see there is a CD in the package until you've opened it, since there is cardboard both in front and back of the CD.
Five stars for the MobileMate and zero stars for the packaging.
