Summary: Very smart design
Review: Generally speaking, a card reader is a card reader and nothing to get religion about. However, this PNY has some smart features that others don't that are worth noting: o You don't need to drag around a USB cable. The PNY comes with an extension cable, but you don't need it; this plugs directly into a computer... and its baby cord squeezes between the other USB plugs. o This is much more portable than pretty much any other reader I've seen. If you plan to leave your reader on your desk connected to one computer, then the other guys are just fine. But this fits easily into pants or shirt pockets -- and again, there aren't any cords to lug around (and leave behind). o I haven't had any of the hassle another reviewer mentions.

Summary: If it breaks you're out of luck
Review: I recently (like 4 weeks ago) bought a PNY multicard reader that does USB 2.0 and reads smart, mmc, compact flash, memory stick, etc. Well it worked fine for a few weeks than broke. If its plugged in my computer won't boot, and if I boot my computer then plug it in the computer freezes. So no problem I thought...I'll just RMA it and get another one. Well I go to their site and click on Warranty and the multicard isn't even listed. So I thought I'd email them? Well no email address. Fax them? Nope no fax. I go and get the original packaging I had with the card and call the tech support number. I must have clicked through 20 voice menu prompts and it seemed like forever (10 minutes probably). I finally get to the point where it tells me to hold for a tech support person...and the hold time was like 40 minutes (this is well before christmas too). It says I can leave voicemail and they will call me back...so I do...and I don't hear back. So I try to call back today (day after christmas) and the line is busy. Unbelievable. I'll never buy another PNY product again.

Summary: Great Card Reader
Review: This is a great card reader. The only problem I did have was one mentioned in another review about the computer not booting when the card reader was plugged in. The problem was my SD card was not in the slot completely. Pushed it in all the way and computer booted with no problems.
