Memory Stick O Memory Stick! Get them here at Mr.Gadget!

Tired of running out of space on your memory stick? Sick of having to ruthlessly delete photos because you've run out of room on your memory card? Despair no more! Mr.Gadget has Sandisk Memory Sticks at excellent prices so you can get that extra bit of memory you need. Especially with the holiday season and Christmas coming, you cannot go to that next engagement armed with nothing less than a 128MB Memory Stick Pro!

Sandisk phasing out standard Memory Sticks
Just an FYI, Sandisk are phasing out the normal Sandisk Memory Sticks and replacing these with the Sandisk Memory Stick Pro series. The prices of the Sandisk Memory Stick Pro have dropped so you can afford one of these for the same price of a standard memory stick! The difference between the two? Sandisk Memory Stick Pro cards have faster read and write time, so that means if you're using it in a digital camera, you'll be able to take shots and review them quicker. A quick note to say that Sony devices take Sandisk Memory Sticks with no problems!

Here's a list of links to the Sandisk Memory Stick range at Mr.Gadget Australia:

What is a Memory Stick?
Here's a definition that I found on Google:
"A memory format. A removable, chewing gum sized smartcard produced by Sony. Compatible with most of Sony's extensive portable digital range, but not with equipment produced by other manufacturers. Capacities range from 4MB to 128MB."
www.tiscali.co.uk

The definition above is a bit outdated now for two main reasons:
- Sandisk also produce memory sticks now
- the largest standard Sandisk Memory Stick is 256MB with memory select (has two inbuilt 128MB chips, so you can choose which one to write data to). Sandisk currently have a 2GB Memory Stick Pro.
