Kingston and MacroPort Team Up to Make Transferring Photos from Digital Camera to PC to Web a Snap
Special SD Card with Pre-loaded Imaging Software Amazon.com Exclusive

Fountain Valley, CA. – April 26, 2007 -- Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced a special Amazon.com promotion involving a new Photo Loader Card: a 1GB Secure Digital™ (SD) Flash memory card with special software that allows for automatic transfer of photos from one’s PC to Shutterfly, Inc. (Nasdaq: SFLY), the leading Internet-based social expression and personal publishing service.

Using the Kingston® Photo Loader Card is a quick and easy process. Once digital photos are taken and the SD card is placed into a PC card reader, the Photo Loader software automatically downloads the photos from the card to PC, and then uploads these same photos to a personal Shutterfly account. As an added bonus, consumers who purchase the card get 25 free 4" x 6" prints from Shutterfly*.

“The Photo Loader Card is the latest example of our company’s commitment in the digital photography arena,” said Jaja Lin, Flash marketing manager, Kingston. “We believe this all-in-one solution on a Kingston card is a win-win for consumers,” continued Lin.

“MacroPort is dedicated to making today’s digital devices easier to use,” said Johnathan Tann, President, MacroPort. “With MacroPort’s PhotoPlay technology, consumers will be able to experience the true simplicity of transferring photos to their PC as well as to a photo printing site,” Tann added.

The Photo Loader Card (Kingston Part # SD/1GB-SMP) has an MSRP of $12.99 and is available only through Amazon.com (www.amazon.com). The Photo Loader software was developed by MacroPort (www.macro-port.com), a leading provider of mobile technology and content services. Shutterfly, Inc. (www.shutterfly.com) provides high quality products and world class services that make it easy, convenient and fun for consumers to preserve and share their digital photos.
