Not what I expected
By A1V4OM9OZWO2JQ on 2005-11-20
I was going to use this as a key chain drive with my spare Memory Sticks, but once I opened the package, I realized that my assumption was wrong. It's a very compact device like those key chain drives, until you attach a Memory Stick. I wish MS would fit into the device but it didn't. MS actually attaches to the side of the device and forms a 'L' shape. Not easy to carry around with MS attached. It worked on most of the PCs. It didn't work on some XP with USB 1.0.
I wish Amazon had more pic of this device, especially with MS attached.
This Lil' Thing ROCK!!!!!
By A3SQUNPC8WD42M on 2004-12-22
The new sandisk memory stick reader is as tiny as any of the jump drives on the market but it is expandable with bigger memory stick (as they becomes available) so it is kind of like having a tiny removeable drive for under $20. This is like a Zip Drive killer. It eliminated a ton of various dongles from my desk.
I installed my Sandisk Mobilemate in under 2 minutes. All my computers (98, XP, XP Pro) recognized the device without a hitch. And it ran super fast when I tested a 256MB stick. I have yet tried a larger size stick because I don't have one. I also need to try it on other non PC devices.
A #1! Thanks Sandisk for a great product at a super nice price! Now I can save my money (was going to buy a mini cruzer) to get a 1G stick. Can't wait!
Incredible workaround for sluggish camera phone
By A3V2AX7QMQTR0O on 2006-06-15
I'm a technophile and have purchased many additions and adaptors in my life, but this is the first time a product (through sheer simplicity) blew me away. I own a Sony-Ericsson W810i cell phone which in its own right is awesome (2 megapixel camera, awesome MP3 player, radio, bluetooth, great antennae, and expandable memory stick pro duo card slot). One thing that the SE camera does not have, however, is decent software for managing large files on the memory stick when one directly connects the phone to the computer. In short, filling up a 4 gigabyte memory stick with music would take hours and hours. Further, the adaptor supplied with memory stick pro duo cards (they look like a short stick of gum and insert into a "regular" memory stick slot) was not recognized by my Sony desktop, so files couldn't be directly accessed and exchanged via this method.
Enter the MobileMate. This baby was recognized in seconds by Windows XP Professional. The memory stick pro plugs into the side and is recognized in entirety as a flash drive. But the best part is the speed. I transferred 3.5 gigabytes of music from my desktop to the memory stick in less than five minutes, including the time taken to choose which artists to transfer!
The camera phone recognizes these files as readily as if they were transferred with SE's propriety dog "Disc-to-Phone" software...artist, album, title.... I spent the day at the beach with the phone/player on shuffle play.
All of this excitement and "thank you SanDisk" for a product that is under $20 because this product performs above and beyond its billed function.
Adorama delivered this thing to my door in two days when I chose expedited shipping. I can imagine it would have been here by the end of the week with regular shipping, but the beach was calling me.
(For the record, the "regular" adaptor that comes with memory stick pro duo cards does work in some computers with a memory stick slot, such as my Fujitsu Tablet PC. I haven't closely compared file transfer speeds but the MobileMate is definitely faster).
Great Product!
By A3OUZKZV34F3IE on 2005-04-18
This product fits all my needs. I needed a portable and very small device to carry with me in my purse that would read the newest Sony pro-duo cards. This little gadget is great and it goes everywhere with me!
Sandisk MobileMate--a speedy alternative to transferring direct from your camera
By A2LXBB2HJBZMQK on 2006-12-21
I have used the Sandisk MobileMate (MS version) to transfer files from both a 1GB & 2GB Sandisk Extreme III Pro Duo card to my laptop computer.
The MobileMate comes with no software, as none is needed. It works exactly as you would expect. Your computer sees the MobileMate with inserted Memory Stick as a USB flash drive. I have successfully used the MobileMate with both Windows XP Pro SP2 and with openSUSE 10.0 Linux. Just start your file browser (Explorer in Windows, or Konqueror in KDE in Linux, etc.), open the USB drive, then select which files you want to copy to your hard drive and drag-and-drop them where you want them to go.
I get real-world transfer speeds (using the Extreme III cards) of from 10MB to 13MB per second from the MobileMate to my IBM G41 Thinkpad 80GB hard drive (spinning at 5400rpm). That means a completely full 1GB Memory Stick will take less than 2 minutes (actually about 90 to 100 seconds) to copy all of the files to your hard drive.
I give the product 4 stars (instead of 5) because the rubber flap that covers the Memory Stick docking slot does not close completely. Hence, I keep the MobileMate wrapped inside a small plastic bag while in my camera bag. Also, it can be inconvenient for inserting into some USB ports. This is because the MobileMate with MS inserted forms a sort of lopsided T-shape when ready to insert into a USB port (see the pictures I uploaded). However, the MobileMate comes with a short (about 4 inches) female-to-male USB cable so that it can be connected via the cable to USB ports that are located in tight spots.
Inside the package are the MobileMate MS, a split ring, the cap that fits over the USB part of the MobileMate that you can put the split ring on, another cap that allows you to clip the MobileMate to a pocket, and a short female-to-male USB cable for connecting the MobileMate to tightly placed USB ports on your computer. The caps that snap on to the MobileMate (over the USB connector) fit very snugly and are unlikely to come off accidentally.
- Very well
By A3KU4K0CCFJADQ on 2005-09-17
Adorama Camera works very well, they sent the product rapidly and arrived in good conditions.
- Brilliant!
By A3R5I3T9PYG8N6 on 2006-11-02
This little doohickey is exactly what I needed to read my memory sticks. Load the software, plug it into the USB port and you're off and running! The MobileMate is SUPER SPEEDY! The files/pictures pop right up with no lag time. And you can read all forms of memory sticks with this one reader.
Excellent value for the price!
- Very practical gadget
By A28SWGY5SVIZCN on 2006-11-03
This is a very practical gadget to own, it makes the transfer of photos to any computer a breeze, you just connect it and it behaves in the same way as a USB memory. The only flaw in this gadget is the rubber cover,it's very loose and doesn't have a snug fit, therefore it's always open allowing dust in, that's the only reason why I gave it 4 stars. The very small size allows you to take the unit anywhere without any problems. The main advantage of this gadget is that you won't ever need the camera and cable to transfer photos to your computer, specially if you own several cameras that use different USB cables.
- SanDisk Lies
By A127Y2YKKERBNZ on 2007-03-09
Bought this for the SD card by SanDisk I bought for my camera. According to the description, it should read the SD card I bought. Guess what, the SD card doesn't fit, and since I had to open the stupid plastic wrapper (so sharp it could seriously injure someone; Fort Knox should be so well-protected as this little card reader), I can't return it. If it will fit your card, contact me please! I'm looking for a swap!!
- MS Reader
By A1TD27QYNYVP6K on 2006-08-23
Love it! easy to use and without the adaptor to the Duo Stick.
- san disk ms reader
By A1PB9LZ5GMW14I on 2007-02-16
I came in the mail quickly and works great, I think it should come standard with all camera's, but that's me, get one if you don't have one.
A++
- use less product
By AK64212N4Y1DB on 2007-02-17
I hated it this does not do anything I thought it would when I put my memory cards in for it to read nothing happened DO NOT buy this product
- Excellente deal
By A3UXDL0IO4TAY5 on 2007-03-08
I'm very happy with this purchase. Altough the shipping rate is a little expensive, I definetively recomend it. (4 stars because the shipping rate).
- Compact reader
By A1HYZUL6MFTJ7F on 2007-03-10
The little Mobilemate tucks easily into my camera case for those occations that I want to dump photos into a computer while travelling. USB plug and play, It does everything its supposed to do.
- good, but...
By A1T38S76RX9OLM on 2007-04-10
It works very well. However, and this was my own mistake... I thought this reader slot was on top... the MS inserts from the side... L shape! I thought it went in from the top! but it is a good reader.
- Great for travelling
By A158O716142L3 on 2007-07-16
I bought this device to bring along with me while travelling to transfer digital footage from my new camcorder (HDR-CX7). It works great, is incredibly small and light, is relatively inexpensive, and transfers large quantities of data really quickly. Possibly the only downside is that it is so small that the memory stick will stick out from the device while plugged in. This is not enough for me to downgrade my rating to 4 stars considering it meets all other expectations and works flawlessly without installing any software. Two thumbs up.
- Love the MobileMate; Hate the Packaging
By A13YOM0SJVLARS on 2007-07-20
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.
- fast shipping
By A298JGKURU9J6F on 2007-07-25
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.
- do you really need it?
By A3G2YB1PJX8RL on 2007-08-08
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.
- Flimsy
By ASCDWK4K3CE5B on 2007-08-16
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.
