Memory Stick is a flash memory technology developed by
Sony. Memory Stick allows you to record, transfer and share
digital content, such as digital pictures, music, movies, voice,
and computer data and applications.
Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to Memory Sticks,
but they are shorter. Like the Memory Stick, SD Cards allow
portable storage among a variety of devices, such as cell
phones, GPS systems, digital cameras, and PDAs. SD Cards
transfer data quickly, with low battery consumption.
