Its also mentioned in the gamespot link at the top of the page:
Note that "512MB" and "1GB" memory cards don't actually have 512MB and 1GB of software storage capacity respectively. Cards marketed as "512MB" actually only have 468MB of usable memory and "1GB" cards only have 969MB due to formatting overhead and differing definitions of what "megabyte" actually means.
According to the storage manufacturer a MB is 1,000,000 bytes, but for software, a MB is 1,048,576 bytes. Don't be surprised when you can't fit that 500MB movie onto your 512MB card.

I recently just purchased a 1GB Sony HIGH SPEED stick and a SanDisk MobileMate to read it in to increase speeds and it also means I don't have to carry the cable round with me.
However I've just had to send the MobileMate back for replacement because it doesn't actually read my 1GB card!!

Ordered my sandisk 1gig yesterday... and it came this morning!
Its great! well worth the price! and it works perfect with my phone and my PSP.
Tests:
Using my card reader i managed to transfer 700MB in just
3.40 minutes.
Using my PSP i managed to transfer 700MB even quicker in just
3.00 minutes!
I can definently recommend
Sandisk over Sony anyday! so much
faster!

I have a Sony "high speed" card for my k750i and it doesn't even work in most of my card readers - including a brand new mobilemate
So, I got a sony MSAC-US30
Now I can write 700Mb in 2mins
Write speed:
6,123,815 b/s
5,980 kB/s
5.8 MB/s
I believe poor results people experience with this card is because performance is optimised for the parallel interface and most reader/writers only use the serial interface...

It is important to note that hard drive manufacturers often use the metric definition of the prefixes "giga" and "mega." However, nearly all operating system utilities report capacities using binary definitions for the prefixes.
For example, a drive advertised as 200 GB (metric) is closer to 186.26 GiB (binary) in the real world.
