Sony intros 16GB Memory Stick Duo {Engadget Mobile}

Jan 7th 2008 4:11AM The reason Sony charges so much for the memory sticks is for one simple reason "Magic Gate", for those who don't know what that means well its really simple its not slow like SD chips its high speed meaning faster & smoother data transfer. If u was able to use SD memory in say a psp & try to run a game down it u would suffer outrageous lag. The speed can also be noticed when transferring data to & from the chip.

As for the "failed crap" the memory stick is not one of them mine fits my TV, PSP, PS3, Phone, Cell Phone, Aibo, Camera, MP3, Home Computer Laptop, ect ect ect & basically I wouldn't use inferior SD as it wouldn't be suited for my needs (its to dam slow hence its cheapness"
