Sony Electronics has introduced its new external memory card reader, the MRW62E-S2, which is primarily targeted at home, SOHO, and professional users.

With dimensions of 86 x 50 x 15.7mm (width x depth x height), the MRW62E-S2 promises to be very convenient to ferry around. It has a USB 2.0 interface, and no additional power is required, which makes it one of the easiest card readers to use, according to Sony.

The MRW62E-S2 is capable of reading different types of cards, including: Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick Micro, CompactFlash, Microdrive, SmartMedia, xD-Picture Card, SD Memory Card, mini SD Card, Multi Media Card, and RS-MNC.

Introducing the MRW62E-S2, Edmund Tan, assistant manager (Sales and Marketing - Computer Peripherals Products) of Applications and Devices Marketing (Singapore-based division of Sony Electronics), said that today, when most users use one or the other type of memory card, it becomes vital to introduce an external card reader that can be carried and used easily anywhere.

Adding to it, Kapal Pansari, director of Rashi Peripherals, said that today, Indian users largely prefer smart phones and digital cameras over any other device, and to get the maximum out of these, they need extra storage which various cards are able to provide. To get data on to the PC or laptop, you need to have a good quality card reader.

The Silver colored MRW62E-S2 will retail for around Rs 700.

The phone is a gr8 piece only if doesnt has the sw bug which most ofthe 3110c`s have.The phone restarts on its own and sometimes keeps on doing that for hours.Otherwise the phone is quite good...all the features loaded within suitable range with decent looks.But I would recomment 5200 as it has same features and is almost the same range and DOESNT RESTARTS.If u dont mind slider phones,go for 5200. ...
