ZoomIt Allows iPhone Users to Access Content From an SD Card [iPhone Accessory]

Mac peripheral maker ZoomMediaPlus will be launching an interesting iPhone accessory at MacWorld today.
ZoomIt is an SD card reader that users can connect to their iPhone to access external photos, videos, music and other documents.

ZoomIt SD card adapter is an application-driven hardware, which will require users to download a free iPhone app called zoomIt from the App Store. The adapter connects to your iPhone via the dock connector and thanks to the application, enables you to watch photos, play music and access a wide variety of files including .PPT, .XLS, .PDF and .DOC files.
The iPhone app comes with its own interface for viewing photos both from the iPhone camera as well as those from the SD card. However, in case of videos and music, only unprotected files shall be playable from the SD card. ZoomMediaPlus CEO Chris Fisher has indicated that support for protected content shall be made available in the future. ZoomIt is also likely to support the iPad though Fisher refused to officially confirm the same.


This is probably the first accessory that will make it possible for iPhone users to access foreign files from their handset without a need for syncing. The ZoomIt SD card adapter is now available for preordering from the company's website for $59.95 and is expected to start shipping from April. Chris Fisher has noted that the first 250 preorders will receive a 4GB SDHC card. Additionally, all preorders from the website will receive a discount of $10.
