Micro SDXC memory cards are a derivative of SDXC Cards - eXtended Capacity micro SD cards sport the same features as the SDXC card - with a top end capacity up to 2TB (2048GB!) and read/write speeds up to 300MB a second.

With the recent arrival of SDXC cards and the introduction of a host of new compatible cameras, the new Micro SDXC format is due soon and will fuel tomorrow's feature rich mobile devices.

Micro SDXC are small in size - using the same physical dimensions as the TransFlash / micro SD card that are used in mobile phones and many small digital cameras an electronic devices where even the small size of a regular SD/SDHC card is too big. With a Micro SDHC/SDXC adapter microSDXC card can be used in a full sized SDXC card slot.

In today’s society people store their entire life on their mobile phones. We all have countless contacts, pictures, music and video stored on our phones.

If you we were to lose your phone this valuable data would be lost which would mean hours of asking for family and friends telephone numbers, bluetoothing your entire music collection to your new phone.

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to get all of this data backed up on your computer or external hard drive where it is safe? Dynamode have answered many a moblie users prayers with their new SD/MMC Mini Micro SIM card reader.

As the name states this little gadget reads Sim cards, MiniSD cards, Micro SD cards a whole host of MMC cards allowing you to back up photos, contacts and pretty much any media that you have stored on your phone. The unit is very easy to use and comes with a software disc to install the contact management software.

My only gripe with this card reader is that there isn’t an instruction leaflet supplied with it, however as the reader is so easy to use I doubt I would look at the instructions anyway!
