Could anybody tell me what the different between transluscent and
regular memory stick?
The new Translucent Lexar Memory Stick (MS128-281) has the following differences that I know of :
A built-in LED 'in-use' indicator.
An erasure protection switch like a standard floppy disk.
A 350KB/sec. access speed.
A 5 year warranty instead of a 90 day warranty like the Part #: MS128-132 (VALUE LINE INET 90DAY WTY )
------------
The following link will take you to a price shopping page that shows both types of the Lexar 128MB stick.

Lexar Media's Enhanced Memory Stick 'Lights When it Writes' to Protect Against Accidental Data Loss
PMA, Orlando, FL, February 24, 2002 -- Lexar Media Inc. (Nasdaq: LEXR), a leading designer, developer and marketer of
award-winning high-performance digital media and reader products, debuts its new enhanced Memory Stick at the Photo
Marketing Association trade show (PMA), Orlando, Florida, on February 24 - 27. Lexar Media's enhanced Memory Stick
comes in a translucent purple shell and features a built-in LED 'in-use' indicator that 'lights when it writes' to reduce the risk of
corrupting data due to premature removal from a host device.
"Lexar Media is pleased to bring this new enhancement to the highly successful Memory Stick format," said Eric Stang, president
and CEO, Lexar Media. "Anyone can occasionally lose data by removing digital media cards prematurely. Even worse,
improper memory card removal can sometimes cause complete card failure. Our new data-safe light lets users know when their
data has been safely stored to the card, providing an extra level of protection."

Lexar Media was kind enough to send me a sample of their latest enhanced Memory Stick. This is a translucent purple stick that
has a green LED safety light that lights when you write.
The LED gives you a visual indicator when it is in use so that you won't eject it during the process of writing data to your PDA,
camera etc. It also has an erasure protection switch like a standard floppy disk. When the switch is in the Locked position,
content is secure and cannot be transferred to or from the Memory Stick. I've been using the sample in my NR70V for a couple
months now, and it has worked like a champ!
