Well here’s a welcome addition to today’s happiness bank: Sony Ericsson is dropping the Memory Stick Micro, Sony’s red hot memory stick platform, for MicroSD. The Memory Stick, if you’ll recall, was Sony’s attempt to rule the roost when it came to memory cards, a strategy that failed so spectacularly that they created an entire sidereal constellation of memory cards outside of the normal collection, ensuring absolute uselessness and incompatibility.
Why are they deciding to move to MicroSD? Could it be them losing billions this year? Could it be because they can’t make a good phone to save their lives? The world will never know.
Sony should scrap the entire Memory Stick line, quite honestly. It’s run its aborted course.
First off, sony phones are incredible. I have owned 4 different ones. I have loved everyone of them. I switched to a blackberry due to my carrier not having the same or better sony phone as I had. But now that I have my blackberry I can’t go back. But there have been several sony phones to temp me. Most of the extreme sony phones have been around long before some of the deviced we love today. I don’t know why carriers like to sell sonys bottom end phones. It does not acurately represent their phones. The xperia is phenomenal, the idou is even better, and if I did not love my BB so much, I would probably have one of those.
How can you say that the Idou is a “better” or good phone when it hasn’t even been released yet?
Asshole!! I like that they have the M2 memory sticks;there are other manufacturers besides SONY that put these out. The guy who wrote this is making the mentally retarded look intelligent!!
