Sony embrace Compact Flash, 10 years too late
Sony has become somewhat famous for its desire to get the world to use memory sticks. I loved the Clies but found myself forced to use the small, expensive memory sticks instead of the cheaper better cf or SD that I had from other devices. Then Sony pulled out of the PDA market and it looked like the Memory stick was doomed. T
When the PSP used the MS Duo format it grabbed a huge slice of the market, and it now turns up regularly in Mobile phones, so it was Compact flash that was left out in the cold.
So it’s something of a surprise that Sony is now entering the dwindling Compact Flash market, that started in 1994.
The first Sony CompactFlashTM memory cards will be available later this Spring. The initialline-up will include CompactFlash Type I cards with 66x and 133x transfer speeds and capacities between 1GB and 4GB .he products will be branded as part of Sony’s a100 DSLR camera system.
A 1GB or 4GB Compact Flash… I can hardly contain my excitement. I bet Sandisk are quaking in their boots.
