More good news for Sony PSP owners:

Sony has announced that 2GB Memory Stick Pros and Duos are coming at the end of the month. The full sized 2GB Memory Stick Pro will retail for $169.99 USD while the more diminutive 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo used in the PSP will be priced at $199.99 USD. The 1GB Memory Stick Pro and Memory Stick Pro Duo currently retail for $119.99 USD and $124.99 USD respectively. Sony's pricing of the 2GB Memory Sticks will make them more competitive with other memory card formats in a cost per Gigabyte price comparison.

The new 2GB Memory Stick Pros are currently available for pre-order from the SonyStyle online store.

For more information about the myriad of Memory Stick formats and device compatibility, see Sony's Memory Stick Product Compatibility page and memorystick.com.

This would be even better news if Sony was still doing Palm OS devices. I was so sad the day I had to put my TH55 down to 'upgrade' to a LD.

Yeah Sony's departure from Palm OS was the biggest blow in Palm history. Only thanks to the PSP we're seeing a revival of the memory stick now.

Amidst the bad side of Sony leaving, there's one good thing about it... no more Memory Sticks!!!
