Works well

This thing works great. It reads and writes quickly to SD cards. I had some trouble getting a Windows XP and Mac OS X computers to write to my SD card (kept complaining about being write-protected), but this was resolved by inserting the SD card not quite all the way. I have not tried the MobileMate with a Multimedia card. My major complaint is that the cover for the card slots is not permanently attached. If one attempts to swing it out of the way to insert a card, it falls off. A drop of Super Glue was a quick and permantent fix. Another complaint is that this tiny thing is power hungry. It must be attached directly into a computer's USB port. It over powers any USB hub - even the USB hub in a Mac keyboard.

does not work for mmc cards

i bought this item hoping to transfer the pictures off on my nokia 3650, but alas the thing does not work. do not buy this reader if you have mmc it soes not resd it. windows kept saying that i did not have a 2.0 usb port for it to run off of, which is crap i have four.

Very dissatisfied

I purchased this reader exclusively for my 1gb Kingmax MMC, which I use in my Nokia Ngage QD phone thinking I might eventually have a need for the other formats, and unfortunately, it does not read my MMC (MultiMediaCard) at all. I plugged it in my PC without the card and it seemed to recognize it just fine, but as soon as I insert the card it has problems (I made sure it was seated correctly and inserted the right direction). The light will come on momentarily (indicating that it is plugged in and inserted properly) but then a few seconds later it shuts off and Windows complains that I have unsafely removed the device. This continues until I actually remove it and/or reboot the computer. I know the card is just fine, as it works beautifully in my Ngage. The PC I tested the reader on was running Windows 2000 with SP4. I tried it on a PC running Windows XP SP2 as well and the darn thing wouldn't recognize it at all, even without a card in it (other flash drives/readers work just fine). The reader came with drivers, which are only meant to be used with Win9x machines. Of course I tried installing them anyway, to no avail. No drivers are necessary when using Win2k/XP, according to the instructions. Also, I feel it necessary to add that SanDisks website support for this product is non-existent.

Since the reader has to accomodate for so many formats, the slots are not well suited for one specific format; my MMC card went in very stubbornly and required quite a bit of force until it finally "clicked".. even then it didn't seem quite right. Unfortunately I cannot report on how well it reads other formats, but if you need an MMC reader, look elsewhere.

Needless to say I will be requesting a refund.
