New KODAK MicroSD Card Reader Introduced by Sakar

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Copying and sharing memory card-based photos, videos, music and data is easier than ever with new KODAK Card Readers developed by Sakar International. Four readers now available in stores will be joined in spring 2010 by an extra-secure MicroSD card reader designed to transfer photos from your cell phone or camera, including the new KODAK SLICE Touchscreen Camera announced by Kodak.

Roughly the size of a quarter, the new KODAK R110 Card Reader for MicroSD Cards (MSRP $14.99) has special features to keep the card, USB connection and device itself safe and secure. It slides open from the middle to expose the card compartment and USB - then slides closed to prevent the card from falling out and the USB from collecting dust and dirt. For loss protection, it comes with a cord that connects to your keychain as well as a built-in non-detachable cover that cannot be misplaced. The reader is MAC OS and PC system compatible, including WINDOWS 7.

Other products in the KODAK Card Reader family - available now at major retailers - are:

• KODAK A270 72-in-1 Card Reader (MSRP $29.99), a universal reader/writer with hard-to-find SIM card support that makes it easy to modify, print, backup or share addresses from your mobile phone. The reader also supports all versions of SD/HC, MicroSD, CF, XD and MEMORY STICK PRO memory cards. It is MAC OS and PC system compatible and includes a back compartment for storing SD and MS cards.
• KODAK A250 50-in-1 Card Reader (MSRP $19.99), offering support for all versions of SD/HC, MicroSD, CF, XD and MEMORY STICK PRO memory cards. MAC OS and PC system compatible.
• KODAK R120 Card Reader for MEMORY STICK Cards (MSRP $14.99) including MEMORY STICK PRO/PRO Duo. MAC OS and PC system compatible.
• KODAK R130 Card Reader for SD Cards (MSRP $14.99) including SD and SDHC cards.

All models in the KODAK Card Reader family are USB 2.0 compatible and have a rubberproof coating for protection.

The new KODAK Card Readers are among the latest products available under a license agreement between Kodak and Sakar that was announced last year. The readers are on display at Booth #9841 in Central Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center at the 2010 International CES that opens today.
