SanDisk Corporation has introduced RapidGX, a Memory Stick PRO Duo Game card that offers a quick and easy way to capture and store movies, TV shows, games, digital images and music to the Sony PSP. The SanDisk RapidGX card offers a complete content solution for owners of the popular handheld gaming and video device. It comes with software that allows PSP owners to convert and transfer a host of multimedia files from a personal computer to a PSP, through a simple drag-and-drop interface. It also comes with SanDisk's new MicroMate high-speed Memory Stick PRO Duo card reader, which is optimized for the RapidGX to achieve maximum transfer speeds.

The SanDisk RapidGX card initially will be sold in a single capacity of 1 gigabyte. With the MicroMate reader, a PSP user can transfer data at read/write speeds of up to 15 megabytes per second, about twice the read/write speeds of the PSP when the device is hooked up directly to a computer. The reader contains a slot for the card and a USB connector that allows it to be plugged into a PC's USB port. Since there is no accessible on-board memory in the PSP, all content must be stored on removable Memory Stick PRO Duo cards.
