Today, zoomMediaPlus announces the zoomIt, a SD card reader dock for iPhone and iPod touch.  The attachment allows the Apple products to access data on an SD card and share this data to and from the SD card.  The unit will be available in April and will sell for a reasonable $59.99.

Whether it’s giving your digicam images a way to get to Facebook or Flicr or off-loading your iPhone’s images, even casual photographers should see great benefit in this product.  Made to work with all memory levels of iPhones and iPod touch SDK 3.0 and above devices, the zoomIt will allow access to iPhone OS file types including photos, music, videos, and documents (.PPT, .XLS, .DOC, .PDF, etc.).  Users can forgo connecting to a computer to get access to their images and just connect to their iPhone or touch.

“We’re excited not only by what zoomIt does for user-generated content but by what it can also do to create alternative methods of content distribution other than optical CD/DVD and downloadable,” said Richard Sfeir, CEO, zoomMediaPlus. “With the iPhone and iPod touch being the dominant portable multimedia platform, we’re excited about enabling preloaded content on SD cards to give the industry and consumers new ways to distribute and consume protected content.”

Currently, protected content such as licensed movies, music and images will be supported in a future release.  The zoomIt team is working doubly hard to make that a reality as the company believes it can follow in the honored footsteps of Slot Music and the like for content sales on a SD card.  Sweet.  I kid here but the ability to load up several movies on a card for say a long flight would be welcome, especially to users who opted for an 8GB device.

Pre-orders are being accepted now.
