Sony Ericsson Memory Stick Micro Format Dropped Sony Admits Defeat

Sony Ericsson have confirmed that they are to drop their Memory Stick
Micro memory card format in a gesture that serves to underpin the
distinct lack of success of the Memory Stick range in general - a range
which Sony initially introduced (and hyped no end) in a bid to corner
the memory card market.

Unsurprisingly it's the runaway success of (specifically) the microSD
card format that appears to have ultimately seen the demise of Sony
Ericsson's Memory Stick Micro format and its to that format that Sony
will now turn, doubtless begrudgingly, in light of the Memory Stick
Micro's being consigned to extinction.

As for the Sony Ericsson Memory Stick range in its entirely, who can say
how long it'll be before Sony come to the inevitable conclusion that its
flogging a dead horse? Personally, we find it refreshing that Sony are
waking up and smelling the coffee - even if it is only one cup at a time.
