"While the large variety of supported memory formats can easily deem Akasa's reader as useful, and the presence of additional USB ports can boost its importance, one of the device's best selling points is speed. Transferring data on and off portable players, digital cameras or mobile phones, equipped with the appropriate memory cards can be excruciating slow, even with the grand advancements of today's technology, but all that discomfort can be addressed and partially solved by the Akasa reader."
