Kingston Technology has announced the launch of MobileLite: a 9-in-1 USB card reader that helps mobile consumers navigate multiple expansion memory card formats more easily when moving between mobile phones, digital cameras, PCs and portable media devices. Three Secure Digital Flash memory card bundles join the MobileLite release: a 1GB standard SD card combo pack is available now and 1GB microSD and 2GB SD bundles will follow later this quarter.
