Sony To Sell... CF Microdrives?
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 AM
"Rounding out its line of removable media, Sony Electronics is introducing the Sony Microdrive®, a one-inch removable hard disk drive that will meet the increasing storage needs of many portable digital devices such as digital cameras and PDAs. Designed to fit the Compact Flash+ Type II interface, Sony Microdrive offers a cost-effective solution for expanding consumer storage needs such as high-resolution digital photos and MPEG video. Microdrive also features a high-performance 97.9 Mbps data transfer rate to accommodate rapid shooting and moving picture data."
This is unusual on several levels. Does it mean that: a) Sony has either rapidly developed CF technology or actually rebranded a competitor's product; b) Sony has admitted that Memory Stick isn't the end-all, be-all; or both? I guess I should... welcome... Sony to the memory world for a change. Confusing! 8O
