This is by far the least expensive PC Card SmartMedia adapter that I have ever seen. I bought this card so that I could easily read SmartMedia cards on my Powerbook G4 running Mac OS X 10.2.1. The SmartMedia cards are used with a Fuji FinePix 1400 digital camera.

When I received the card I removed it from the packaging, inserted it into the PC Card slot on my Powerbook, and then inserted the SmartMedia card into the slot on the PC Card. The card mounted quickly on my machine, and displayed with a PC Card icon.

Importing all of the images from the SmartMedia card was quick and flawless. No software drivers to install. Nothing to configure. It just works!

If you need to read SmartMedia cards on a Powerbook, this is in my opinion the best option considering both price and performance. It doesn't get any easier than this!

I use this mainly as a radio for my notebook. It's not billed as such, but the PC software is on the CD also. You get a line-in cable, and if you have a line-in jack and a CF slot or a CF slot adapter like me, then you can play a radio without slowing down your dial-up connection. Also, it doesn't use up desk space, except for a few inches protrusion from the CF card. I lost the software when I closed down my computer without shutting down the cool-looking on screen tuner. A deinstall/reinstall didn't do the trick, so I had to use system restore on Windows XP to get it back.
It works fine on my Toshiba e750 ppc as well. Reception is average, so only count on getting strong stations. The on-screen tuning is the easiest and most accurate radio tuning, though.

here is the skinny. I originally bought my pda because of it's internal wifi capability. when i came across this fine device, i was currious enough to try it out. THe brand name was relatively new to me, and i was a bit skepical to buy it. Once it arrived on my doorstep, it was within 5 minnutes before i had everything out and ready to go. WOW. 18 presets and a strong FM antenna, every channel came in crisp and clear just like listening to my mp3s. For anyone who, like me, have listened to their music over and over again, and wants a cheap alternative this this the device for you. Its small, compact, and has excelent energy conservation, i cant wait to get the Ambicom GPS reciever which i just ordered. Ambicom means Quality and fits any budget.

Let me just say wow! You would think that for $32 you would get a piece of #$&*, but I am surprised. The stations come in so clear and with 18 presets you have a lot of space to save your favorite ones. It works with Pocket PC 2003 and the software is so easy to use. It comes with a pair of stereo earbuds and a line-in cable so you can plug it into your computer. If you are wondering it will not play through your PDA speaker(s), there is a headphone port on the card its self. My Dell Axim is now compleat, and when I get tired of my mp3's I now have a radio to listen to!

I just purchased a laptop and an IPAQ Pocket PC and I used this card for both. I just pull the card from on and plug it in the other. The set up was as easy as 1.2.3. very easy, no issues with manuals or long instructions. I don't recall needing the instructions for more than a minute or so. Very easy to install and very practical... especially for my needs.

I'll give it a 5 *****
