Sony wields high-capacity Sticks. The consumer-electronics giant is boosting the capacity of its Memory Stick removable flash memory cards and developing a new faster-recording card format. [CNET News.com]
"The cards will be available starting in April and are tentatively priced at $190 for the 256MB card, $440 for the 512MB card and $880 for the 1GB card"
I have been amazed at the free fall in flash cards. I recently saw a 256 mb flash card for under $50. Sony is claiming that there new cards have much more potential. Sony claims that they will be able to hold as much as 32 gigs. They also claim that they will have much faster data transfer speeds with there cards. However, if Sony hopes to become more used than sd and/or compact flash cards, they need to be more competitive of the pricing.
