Sony Joins the Fray with Memory Stick Micro
all i gotta say is...
oh stop.
seriously. this multiple-standards situation has got to end industry wide. just work together on ONE thing - there's got to be more money and faster improvement of the technology by getting together behind one standard. the way i figure it, sandisk makes a ton of flash memory - get behind MiniSD. it's small enough dammit!
yet another flash memory standard that's like "oh hey, it'll totally support up to 32GB! but right now and for the next few months it'll only come in a 128MB version. heh."
meanwhile I'm still waiting for a 512MB transflash card. hell, a 1GB would make my day. boooo.

*The name of the game...nothing works with anything else...
"which are all roughly similar in size and capability, yet incompatible"
Gotta love that...

too many formats makes things so annoying. One format, yah. Two, ok... Three, that's a stretch... but when you get to like 100 different forms of media, it's annoying.
This really shouldn't surprise anyone. This is what Sony has always done. Check out there digicams, Sony stick...there SE phones, Sony stick...camcorders, Sony stick. This is what they always do.
