iPad Holiday Gift Ideas: PNY zoomIt SDHC Flash Memory Card Reader

zoomIt is a revolution in managing content with the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. Combining application software with an intelligent accessory, zoomIt adds SD and SDHC capability and media management tools that allow you to easily view, listen to, and transfer your photos, music, video clips and files on the go without the need to connect to your camera, Mac or PC.

The zoomIt adapter allows Apple handset owners to look at photos, play music, and read documents off an SD card by connecting to your handset’s charging port. This is coupled with a smart software that optimizes your device’s digital experience with a simple user interface to transfer content to and from your flash memory card and Apple device.

When you connect the adapter for the first time you will be prompted onscreen to download a free iPhone app that controls the media files on your memory cards. For photos and documents you will have pushbutton options to e-mail them or post them to the photo sharing website Flickr, or upload them to your Facebbok account. For each of these applications the app will shrink large files down to an e-mail, Flickr, or Facebook-approriate size to make the transfer from the card to the iPhone or iPod Touch as quick as possible without sacrificing any more image resolution than necessary.

With zoomIt you can take your digital library to go, and have the ultimate mobile media solution… The free app “zoomIt” not only provides an easy content manager, but also adds media capability to your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch enabling you to listen to, view, and share MP3 music files. You can also do the same with video clips*. Transfer content in various video formats such as MOV, H.264, and MP4. Load them to your SDHC card and transfer to your handset with zoomIt to view off your Apple device, email or upload to sharing sights such as YouTube.

The app provides pretty good functionality, allowing bidirectional transfer, not restricted to photos, can even do RAW photos. It allows ALL photos to be transfered in a batch, selected photos in a batch, or single photos. Photos and files can be renamed. Files can be stored in ZoomIt created directories, or copied to the iPad photo application folders.
