New EDGE Dock & Multi Flash Card Reader for iPod to Ship Immediately
DALLAS, TX — October 5, 2005 — EDGE Tech Corp, a leading supplier of DRAM
and Flash memory upgrades, portable computing products, storage devices,
and other experience-enhancing technology solutions announced that its EDGE
Dock & Multi Flash Card Reader for iPod will ship today.
The new combination card reader and dock product, in stylish “iPod white”,
allows a user to access various formats of flash cards while also charging
an iPod, playing music via external speakers, and syncing the iPod with a
computer.
“Apple iPod sales recently accounted for almost 90% of hard drive-based
audio player sales in the U.S. , and over 50% of flash-based player sales,”
commented Kandi Sigona, VP Strategy and Development at EDGE Tech. “With
more consumers using iPods and other digital devices such as cameras and
mobile phones which accept flash memory cards, EDGE saw an opportunity to
combine two products into one new, unique design,” said Sigona.
The attractive EDGE Dock & Multi Flash Card Reader is made for the iPod
nano, iPod mini, iPod photo, and the original iPod. The device reads all
popular flash card formats including xD Picture Card, SD Memory Cards,
MultiMedia (MMC) Cards, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick Duo,
SmartMedia Cards, Type I/II CompactFlash Cards, and IBM Microdrive . The
EDGE Dock & Multi Flash Card Reader for iPod utilizes a USB 2.0 interface
(backwards compatible to USB 1.1) for high-speed transfers between a
computer and flash cards.
The product sells for $49.95 before any applicable rebates and comes with a
one year warranty. External speakers for playing music from an iPod are not
included.
