    A nifty new card reader from Kingston.

    It’s the Kingston MobileLiteG2, their second-generation portable Flash card reader. What’s nice about this card reader is it shows up as two separate devices on your system. That makes it easier to transfer data between Flash memory cards using only one USB port. This would be a good way to move files off your phone’s micro-SD card onto the computer, or onto a full sized SD card. The MobileLiteG2 comes with retractable covers on each side. Slide one end out to protect the USB connector. The other end slides out to protect the memory cards from damage. It ships with a short USB extension cable in case the USB port you’re going to use is hard to reach, or in case the card reader might block another open port or hit another plugged in USB device. Prices are really good! The card reader alone is about $11. But there’s a better bargain if you buy one of “package deals”.  For $28.50 (about $20 on Amazon) you can get the card reader bundled with a 4 GB SDHC card. For $46 (About $28 on Amazon) you get it bundled with a 8GB SDHC card. Dimensions: 2.45" x 1.16" x 0.646" (62.15mm x 29.40mm x 16.40mm) Weight: 18.90g    And it weighed only .08 ounce on my Ultra-Ship scale. Supported formats: SD, SDHC, microSD, microSDHC, Memory Stick PRO Duo (M2), Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo (M2) and Memory Stick Micro (M2).
