Sony prices 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card

Sony has officially announced pricing and availability for its 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card. First shown at this year's Consumer Electronics Show alongside an 8GB version, the new 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card will be available in July for "about $250," according to the company.

At one-third the size and half the weight of the standard-size Memory Stick card, the 4GB PRO Duo media is designed to store large amounts of rich, multi-media content, including movies, music and high-resolution digital photos.

The new media card is compatible with a wide selection of currently available devices, including Sony's Cyber-Shot T Series and W Series cameras, Handycam camcorders and the PSP system.

For added versatility, all Sony Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media cards are sold with an adapter for devices with a standard-size Memory Stick media slot. It also offers the industry's highest durability with a standard operating temperature range of -13 F to +185 F.

Like all Memory Stick media products, the 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card incorporates MagicGate copyright protection technology to allow for secure distribution of commercial content such as digital music and downloaded movies.
