SmartDisk Introduces Vector Flash Memory Readers

INTERNET WIRE -- SmartDisk Corporation today introduced at COMDEX Fall 2000 its fast and reliable Vector Flash Memory Readers for downloading digital content from SmartMedia and CompactFlash memory cards.

With SmartDisk's USB-powered Vector Flash Memory Readers for the Windows and Mac operating systems, consumers can rapidly transfer digital images, music and data from digital cameras, MP3 players, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and the Internet. The readers enable users to copy or move digital files stored on SmartMedia or CompactFlash memory cards from one digital appliance to another, or to and from computers, external storage drives or the Internet up to 33 times faster than with traditional serial-port connections.

Single-slot Vector readers for CompactFlash or SmartMedia will be available by the end of this year through SmartDisk's Web site as well as through distributors and resellers. The readers will be priced at .95 MSRP.

SmartDisk's Dual Media Reader, which reads both CompactFlash and SmartMedia, has an MSRP of .95. It is currently available through the SmartDisk Web sites as well as through retailers and e-tailers.
