SanDisk and Sony to expand Memory Stick PRO / Micro to 2TB

Monkey see, monkey do, eh? No sooner do we learn that SDHC will eventually morph into SDXC with a capacity limit of 2TB than Sony and SanDisk announce that the Memory Stick PRO / Memory Stick Micro will soon reach that same ceiling. In fact, the announcement is so new that the format doesn't even have a name (something along the lines of Extended High Capacity, probably), giving both of the formats the ability to reach 2TB on a single card. If all goes to plan, production should get going on the new formats sometime this year, so it's safe to say the race to a new top is officially on.

Sony and Sandisk are playing "mine is as big if not bigger than.."

Wait, maybe I did the math wrong, but at that transfer rate (300MBPS), filling the whole thing would take a rediculous

1988.4 HOURS just in download time.

That's kinda funny.
