PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT:

Dear Customers,

Many of you out there will own a laptop, a desktop,  or indeed a printer, or other device that may now come with a built-in card reader for SD , MMC, MS, or other memory card formats.

Well i am afraid to tell you that even though you may have popped down to Dixons, or Currys this afternoon to buy the machine, there is absolutely no guarantee that the card reader will be able to handle the most recent memory cards that we stock, at the larger capacities.

By larger capacity, i mean MMC, SD, mini-SD, RS-MMC, and MS PRO DUO memory in capacities above 256MB...

This is because many of these embedded devices use older (and often cheaper) chipsets in them (dating from 1yr or 2yrs ago), which have never been designed or tested with memory cards like 1GB MobyMemory mini-SD, or our 2GB MMC, which only got released in the last month. It is understandable when you think about it.

When people try the cards in older readers, they invariably come crying and complaining to us claiming to have been sold a duff memory card, often after corrupting the card themselves by trying to use and format in one of these non-compatible readers.

To save everyone a lot of hassle, in emails, secondary purchases of card readers (which is very common), and returns for us to re-format and re-send out...

PLEASE BUY A COMPATIBLE USB2 CARD READER FROM US WHEN YOU BUY OUR BIGGER MEMORY CARDS, OR MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A COMPATIBLE MEMORY CARD READER.

We do try and encourage people to buy a reader with their cards, especially as the price is discounted that way too. So please take this recommendation seriously. Modern card readers like ours offer many times faster transfers to your memory card than bluetooth, or the USB cable supplied with your mobile phone.

It will save a lot of questions and frustrations later for you, and for us too

Yours sincerely,

Moby Memory Team (and from Support Team especially )
