RSSSony, SanDIsk Team on Faster Memory Stick
By the Betanews Staff | Published December 12, 2006, 10:52 AM
SanDisk said Monday it has developed, in conjunction with Sony, a new version of the Memory Stick Pro storage format that is built to transfer data at speeds faster than the standard version. The companies say the faster data rates will allow for real-time recording of multimedia content, and would also allow for high-speed transfer of files to and from the Memory Stick.
The Memory Stick Pro-HG supports data transfer at 480Mbps, three times faster than its predecessor. At a minimum, it will be able to write at a speed of 120Mbps, making advanced applications possible. The first devices compatible with the standard are expected later next year, and the company will begin to license the technology in January.
"The first devices compatible with the standard are expected later next year"
So, again another memory stick that is completely useless to all the existing devices out there.
"the company will begin to license the technology in January."
That's gotta be one small list of licensees.
Why bother creating, yet again, another memory stick format?

Hopefully, SanDisk will take this tech and put it in their cruzer line.
