This weeks CompUsa Sunday Ad had a very nice Sony section that was focusing the customer on the advantages of Sony and the memory stick.

I was impressed. It reminded me of Sony's attempt to integrate the Home Audio/Video market.

The only part of the SNDK story that makes me just a tad jumpy is the memory stick becoming widely accepted as *the standard*.

Best Buy did have a Free SNDK flash reader with the purchase of one of the Digital Camera's.

Watch and wait.

stephen, betamax was also smaller than VHS, but it failed because it could not record 2hrs, and many beta movies took 2 tapes.

The memory stick, though nice, tops out at 64MB. My 96MB CFs are already a year old, and I see there's 192MB now.

Agree nothing is ever easy, but if you look at the digital cameras alone, sony memory stick also is a tough sell to non sony-affiliated companies, let alone the MP3 players.

jmho.
