After
well over two years (first announced in April 2000) the first tiny Memory
Stick Duo is about to go on sale in Japan. The first model, MSA-M16A will
have a capacity of just 16 MB but is about half the size (and considerably
thinner) than a normal Memory Stick, this makes the Duo about the same
size as an SD/MMC card. Also available will be a Memory Stick Duo adapter
to allow the Duo to be used in a normal Memory Stick slot. The Duo is
aimed primarily at the Mobile Phone and PDA market. The first application
for the Duo will be the new Sony Ericsson P800 mobile phone (with built
in digital camera).
