4-Gb Capacity for SanDisc's Memory Stick PRO Duo Standard Flash

SanDisk Corporation has introduced a new 4-gigabyte capacity, the highest available in the market right now, for its standard Memory Stick PRO Duo cards. The move to a larger capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo card is in response to the release of new high-megapixel cameras as well as hybrid models that combine digital still images and video. For example, one new camera that takes both high-resolution still images and high-quality MPEG4 video clips, at 30 frames per second, can provide a user with up to three hours of video capacity with a 4GB SanDisk Memory Stick PRO Duo card.

When inserted into an adapter that converts the Memory Stick PRO Duo to a Memory Stick PRO format, the card also can be used in any device that hosts a Memory Stick PRO flash card, including card readers, personal computers, television sets and some DVD players equipped with flash card slots.

The newest capacity of 4 gigabytes joins other capacities in SanDisk's standard line, which includes 256 megabytes, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB. SanDisk also is making a color change for its Memory Stick PRO Duo line, from pale blue to deep blue.
