Question:

Memory Card Readers?

I need to buy a memory card reader to use with my camera and cell phone. The cell phone memory card has an adapter with it. I am very new to thins idea of technology and was wondering if you could tell me what is best to buy that won't cost too much. I don't understand all the numbers and letters that are attached to the descriptions of these cards. Maybe a website explaining the differences would be helpful? I al so have a Dell Inspirion 600m notebook if that makes a difference.

Answer:

go to OKorder and you can buy a memory cad reader (reads 21 or more memory cards and connects to your USB) for 5-10 dollars (including shipping). I bought one and they work great. good luck
If okorder
The easiest thing I can tell you is to sit down with the manuals for everything you already own that uses memory cards. Find and write down the types each take. Then, find a multi-card reader -- sometimes called a {number}-in-1 Flash Media Reader -- that has all of them. If you don't want to go through that trouble, Sabrent makes a 52-in-1 reader that retails for about $10. It's external, so you don't need to open up your notebook to install it; and it's USB, so you should be able to get it up and running no problem. Pick it up from Tiger Direct or other computer hardware store.
Get a card reader. I like the ones that read all different kinds of cards, as you never know when a friend will come over and you'll want to grab the pictures off of their camera- which might be a Compact Flash card or an xD card. I like the Sandisk 12-1 card reader. Or- you can get a really inexpensive one that just reads SD cards for like $5.
