Sony and SanDisk Develop Memory Stick Micro (M2) Format
SanDisk and Sony Corporation today announced the development of the Memory Stick Micro format, an ultra-small IC recording media designed to meet the growing storage needs of highly compact mobile phones. Memory Stick Micro memory card is approximately one-quarter the size of Memory Stick PRO Duo.
The memory card’s edges are slotted lengthwise to allow for more slim-line designed connectors to reduce space in host devices. As dual voltage memory card, Memory Stick Micro supports devices operating at 3.3 volts and 1.8 volts.
Memory Stick Micro is designed as an externally removable media with a controlled eject function to prevent users losing the memory card. Users will be able to insert Memory Stick Micro into an adapter for exchanging data to a Memory Stick PRO compatible product. The Memory Stick Micro will be made available in the first half of 2006.
