Sony's new M2 reaches a diminutive gig

HEXUS.CEBIT

While many of you will know already, there is a new memory stick format hitting the market at the moment, the M2 sees the proprietary Sony Memory Stick format shrunk even smaller than Memory Stick Duo Pro.

The M2 has been specifically designed to be used in mobile phones, and as expected it has already appeared in the M600 that is due later this year.

We took a look at a pre-production working sample of the M600 today, which we will report on later, but the phone itself was packing something a bit special.

While you can buy a 256MB M2 card at the moment the rumours about larger capacity cards are true - tucked up inside the pre-production working sample of the M600 handset we saw today was a 1GB card.

The above is not due till June or July this year at the earliest but the true size of the card was just staggering, it really is as small as it looks.

We will be back later with more Sony Ericsson goodies!

How about a size comparison with a MicroSD/Transflash card? They are about as tiny as that and they're already available and actually have devices that support them.
It doesn't suprise me too much as my mates Sandisk MS Duo is mostly empty http://www.sandisk.com/Products/ProductInfo.aspx?ID=1189 and I'm sure a lot of that is the connector. So although fiddly, I don't expect that the size (capacity and dimensions) from a production point of view is that hard to produce. Though it is very dinky.
