Sony have just announced the MSA-64A memory stick. The chewing-gum sized stick now expands the range of available MemorySticks from 4MB to 64MB, meaning that Sony have now overtaken SmartMedia as far as storage capacity per physical size is concerned. Availability (in Japan) will be November 21st, MSRP price is 20,000 YEN (US$164 - $2.60/MB).

The timing of this press release fits nicely into Sonys week long camaign on their up coming DSC-F505 (announced tomorrow), the availability of 64MB MemorySticks now makes using such a camera a much more convenient experience.
