ImageMate sits on your desk and acts like a removable disk drive, treating your memory card like a diskette. Drag and drop files from the card to your hard disk drive and back. ImageMate simply connects to your USB port.??Take the memory card from the camera, insert it into the ImageMate and copy your favorite pictures onto your computer in seconds. Data transfer speeds are faster than serial port connectivity - great for large and numerous images. Since the camera does not have to connect to the computer for downloads, it saves battery power. ImageMate also allows transferring data from your handheld computer to your desktop computer and vice versa.
