"The cards do the usual Memory Stick PRO Duo thing, namely providing music, movies and other content for PSP owners, but they include a bit of SanDisk special sauce performance enhancements to speed file transfers up to 15MB per second, double the normal rates for PRO Duo cards. Seems like they just got tired of Sony's limitations in the Memory Stick tech, and figured a way to improve it themselves."

The Memory Stick PRO specifications allow up to 19.7MB/s transfer rate (parallel signalling@40MHz), and secondly SanDisk already offers professional Memory Sticks in the 18MB/s range already. These (according to the SanDisk press release) are mainly more affordable MS PRO devices in the hi-speed category, and appear to be targetting PSP owners.]]>May 10th 2006 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/sandisk-rapidgx-memory-stick-pro-duo-cards-trump-sony/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/sandisk-rapidgx-memory-stick-pro-duo-cards-trump-sony/
FX, GFX, SFX, NSX, GX, XP, XT, GT, GTO, GTi, i and RS. Oh and don't forget Nitro, Turbo and a picture of a lightning bolt.

Also they should have called it Turbo GX because Turbo is quicker than rapid. What kind of branding PR goons did they hire?!

Nice use of red though. Red = Speed/Danger...Dangerous Speed! ]]>May 10th 2006 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/sandisk-rapidgx-memory-stick-pro-duo-cards-trump-sony/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/sandisk-rapidgx-memory-stick-pro-duo-cards-trump-sony/
Also, is this 1GB only, or are they making RapidGX versions of the 2GB and 4GB MSPD?]]>May 10th 2006 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/sandisk-rapidgx-memory-stick-pro-duo-cards-trump-sony/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/sandisk-rapidgx-memory-stick-pro-duo-cards-trump-sony/
What I really want though is the tiny full-speed USB reader. Hooking up my phone through USB to act as the card reader isn't very fast.]]>May 10th 2006 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/sandisk-rapidgx-memory-stick-pro-duo-cards-trump-sony/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/sandisk-rapidgx-memory-stick-pro-duo-cards-trump-sony/May 10th 2006 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/sandisk-rapidgx-memory-stick-pro-duo-cards-trump-sony/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/sandisk-rapidgx-memory-stick-pro-duo-cards-trump-sony/

If so how much? Last thing I want is a fast card in my Phone/PDA that sucks the battery down in half the time....]]>May 12th 2006 7:55PM
