Sony Release New Memory Stick Format: Memory Stick Micro (M2)
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 09:00 PM
". . . Sony Corporation today announced the development of the “Memory Stick Micro” format, an ultra-small IC recording media designed to meet the growing storage needs of highly compact, multifunctional mobile phones. . . . “Memory Stick Micro” media is approximately one-quarter the size of “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media, yet only about 1.2 mm thick. . . . Dr. Eli Harari . . . of SanDisk Corporation, said “The Memory Stick PRO format co-developed with Sony has become a highly successful product line for us due to its popularity [sic] with a wide range [sic] of consumer electronic products such as digital cameras and videogame consoles."
Firstly – the Facts. The M2 is 15×12.5×1.2 mm and can theoretically run at 160Mbs and support up to 32Gb of storage. It supports Sony's MagicGate copy-protection system and will be available in the 1st half of 2006. Secondly – the Thoughts. I am deliberately saying nothing about this fifth Memory Stick 'standard', though I can guess what some of your comments will be. ;-)
