Kingston Technology announced the new Kingston Media Reader, an external, hi-speed reader designed to support 19 popular types of Flash memory cards. The reader is an excellent solution for moving data between Flash cards and a computer or other device with a USB port as it requires no adapters or power cable.

With four built-in slots to handle the various card formats, the Kingston Media Reader has a unique retractable chassis that keeps inserted cards safe. It also houses a short, compact USB cable for use on the go with a notebook or other portable device with a USB port. A detachable three-foot extension USB cable is also included for use at home or at the office.
