CHATSWORTH, Calif., May 22, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Aleratec, developer and manufacturer of advanced USB, DVD/CD duplicating, recording, and digital imaging solutions, proudly reports that its new USB Copy Cruiser Plus(tm) memory card reader and USB copier has earned the GetUSB.info Editor's Choice Award for excellence. In recent testing the USB Copy Cruiser Plus performed above expectations and displayed advanced features not available in competitive products.
"It is an honor for our Aleratec USB Copy Cruiser Plus to be selected by GetUSB.info for their Editor's Choice Award," stated Perry Solomon, President and CEO. "Almost everyone using a digital camera or a USB flash drive has encountered the need to quickly move the files stored whether it is clearing a full camera flash memory card or quickly copying the contents of a USB flash drive to another location. We introduced the USB Copy Cruiser Plus so that anyone can make these transfers anywhere, anytime, without a computer."
From the GetUSB.info review: "The USB Copy Cruiser Plus is a USB copy device with the additional convenience of an 8-in-1 card reader. The unit will copy from one memory device to another or from one memory device to a USB flash drive without the need of a PC. This OTG (On-The-Go) USB technology is very useful and the USB Copy Cruiser Plus proves to be just that, useful. For the small foot-print and compact size, just bigger then your palm, the product performs well, is easy to use and provides clear and precise feedback. Full review: www.getusb.info/?p=175 "
The new USB Copy Cruiser Plus provides a direct USB to USB connection eliminating the need to connect USB devices to a computer to share information between them (USB OTG). It has two standard USB 2.0 ports, an 8 in 1 memory card reader, and features a back lighted, large screen LCD display that shows device capacities, space available, data transfer progress, and allows you to select and copy specific data down to the file level for making custom compilations.
The USB Copy Cruiser Plus (Aleratec Part No. 330100, Ingram Micro SKU No. G36907), has a low Estimated Street Price of $79.99. Palm sized and powered up to 6 working hours by 3 standard AAA batteries (not included), it can be used anywhere.
