| The Memory
Stick digital data storage is designed to become a standard storage and transfer
media. It is smaller than a stick of chewing gum, yet the 8MB Memory Stick has a minimum
of five times the storage capacity of a standard 3.5 inch floppy disk. It is available in
4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, and 128MB storage sizes and as a kit with a PC card adapter.
Due to its compact design, it is best suited for use in small digital electronics
products. 
It allows users to transfer information, such as data,
text, graphics or digital images from one electronic device to another quickly and easily.
This allows digital images to be saved on Memory Stick digital data storage and downloaded
into a Sony VAIO- laptop, desktop computer or any brand of PC with a PC card slot. For
example, up to 160 digital images can be saved on one 8MB Memory Stick small digital data
storage device.

Compared to other IC (integrated circuit)
media, Memory Stick digital data storage is smaller in size than compact flash and smart
media. |
It is highly reliable with a
10-pin connector, and an Erasure Prevention Switch that when set on "Lock"
virtually eliminates the risk of accidentally erasing or recording over stored data. It
has Original Serial Protocol for forward compatibility with higher capacity models to be
developed in the future.
The Memory Stick format is designed to be expanded in the future to
incorporate digital copyright protection. Memory Stick digital data storage is available
now in consumer electronics retailers across the country and works in most new DV &
Mini DV camcorders and digital cameras. Click Here
