It appears that ADATA decided it was time for it to release a product that is not exactly a new DRAM memory or NAND Flash product, so it came up with its newest Micro Memory Card Reader.

Consumers will well know that most any laptop nowadays, from tablets and netbooks to the highest-end notebooks, have their own card readers.

Desktops, on the other hand, don't usually have such an accessory, so ADATA figured it would solve that problem in a very straightforward way.

Simply put, it devised a new gadget that lets one easily transfer files form the data card of a mobile phone to a PC.

The gadget in question is the newest member of the Micro Memory Card Reader series, one named microReader version III.

Its supposedly most convenient asset is that it has a patented one-push card-ejector that makes it easy to use.

“Unlike most conventional memory card readers, which have unfriendly card retrieval designs, the microReader features a patented one-push card-ejector that makes any data transfer a fast and pleasant experience,” states the press release.

It also comes in a kit with the corresponding ADATA microSD/microSDHC memory cards, which actually allows the card reader to convert into an USB drive.

Still, the main goal is to let a desktop easily read from and copy to a memory card via the USB connectivity, especially in absence of an USB data cable.

Of course, one could also put it inside a notebook's USB port and just forget about it.

“Due to its ultra-compact size, the microReader can be plugged into the USB slot of a notebook PC at all times, without blocking the neighboring slots or getting in the way when the computer is stowed in a bag,” says the company.

Unfortunately, the coin-sized, 3 gram device has not been given a price or release date yet.
