My Admiration for Sony-Ericsson Just Went Up: S-E Replacing Memory Sticks with microSD Cards

I had to re-read this item in TrustedReviews a couple of times to make sure I understood it correctly…

Exclusive: Sony Ericsson Dropping Memory Stick Micro

Sony’s Memory Stick flash storage solution is part of a long line of interesting but niche storage products including the Betamax video tape, Mini Disc and UMD (Playstation Portable’s disc). This is good news for consumers and will probably help Sony get new customers.

This move makes sense for Sony and is a good follow-up to the Sony-Ericsson Xperia X1 Windows Mobile smartphone that already can use microSD cards up to 16GB.
