After introducing on February 26 the 4 GB Ultra II Memory Stick PRO Duo, high-performance memory card, SanDisk introduced today the 4 GB regular Memory Stick PRO Duo. The announcement was made at the CeBIT Show in Hannover, Germany.
The move to a larger capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo regular cards is good news for Sony PSP owners, SonyEricsson mobile phone owners but also for owners of Sony digital cameras since the majority of Sony’s new-released digital cameras have Memory Stick Duo slots rather than Memory Stick PRO slots.
The new memory card is expected to ship in April 2006 and the suggested retail price is $ 299. SanDisk is making a colour change for its regular Memory Stick PRO Duo line, from pale blue to deep blue.
