Isn't it just a mader of SW upgrade to use MS pro sticks? Old Vaio laptops with MS cardreaders can do that. Why not p800?

Guys,

it is in the Whitepaper that the roadmap for the Duos will take them to 1Gb. There is no limit on the Duo for 128Mb. Just look at the SD card, they can already fit 512Mb into that and it's still being increased.

1G Memory sticks are Memory Stick PRO (the Pro requires a different reader).

Memory Stick Duo is limited to 128M just like regular memory sticks.

There is no technological limit to stick 1G into the size of SD. It's just that SD had the forsight to design the memory so it can fit 1G in there.

Sony didn't...

Skjalg,

Yep, used the pvauthor. Pretty good quality, but the sound got a bit off in that long clip. Do you have any tip for the settings?

Ok, so how come it says in the January Whitepaper that they have a roadmap to 1Gb for the Duos? And it does say Duo not memory Pro!

duo will go upto but not beyond 1gb - ask

they will tell you the same as will sony

any device using the bigger ms duos will need a software upgrade

this will no doubt be included in the big april upgrade

ms pro will start a 1 gb and go up to 30gb (serious) and beyond for use in memory stick pro camcorders

I should have been a bit more clear - the original Memory Stick spec has a *physical* limitation of 128MB max. The new Memory Stick PRO, as has been mentioned, is bank-switchable between a "compatibility" bank and an extended bank of up to 896MB. This extended bank will NOT be accessable to standard MS devices, which includes the P800.

Third-party vendors, however, appear to be making sticks that have several 128MB banks, all of which are accessable to standard MS devices.

The DUO PRO will eventually support up to 1GB, but that doesn't mean that the P800 will support PRO cards, even with a software upgrade. Will be interesting to see how this develops. Did the hardware guys know about PRO far enough in advance to make the P800 PRO-ready??

I thought Sony were producing a backwards compatable set of MS which use a switch so you can have sticks above the reader hardwares limit. This would mean that if you wanted to put a movie on to a memory stick then you'd have to split it up into 'chapters', which really isn't that big a deal. It's just how quick and easy with bank switching is. a few banks of 128MB wouldn't be too much of a bad thing.
