Don't waste your money! [Posted on 2003-08-25]
This won't work in pre-2003 Sony devices, as Sony made a design mistake on original memory stick (and kept its consumers in dark). Neither would existing card readers work.

These sticks contain MagicGate protection. This means that you won't get even 954 MegaBytes of actual space from this 1000 MillionBytes stick. MagicGate uses up significant space (100MB) and create all kinds of hassles in transfers of things like mp3's.

But wait that's not all, these sticks are kinda obsolete already. These won't work in any SonyEricsson cell phones or smaller Sony devices like Stick Walkman & newer U series Cybershot cameras.

If you want to invest in sticks buy a MS Duo Pro, the latest of half a dozen stick formats from Sony. (Soon most cell phones will have a slot for removable flash media) Or you can say no to all Sony devices and buy SD/MMC based gadgets to avoid all these hassles.

No Magic Gate Protection Needed [Posted on 2003-12-10]
I love my gig stick! I use it all the time for NX 60 Clie. After a quick downloaded patch from Sony's website, it works perfect. I did need to buy a new card reader for it, but that was a small price to pay for all the mp3s and jpegs I can fit on this bad boy. Don't be fooled and think you have to mess with Magic Gate. I am not sure if you can use Magic Gate or not, but I know you don't have to. I just copy the songs to palm/program files/MS_AUDIO/ directory and listen away. The only down side is this thing is almost $500 and I am always afraid to lose it!

MagicGate is Anti-Consumer [Posted on 2003-12-28]
Almost 500 bucks for this card and it tells me what kind of files I may and may not save to it? What kind of removable storage is that? I'm sorry but I'm not willing to take this kind of leap into control from the likes of Sony. I know there are hacks out there to reverse engineer the thing but I'd rather go with non-proprietary stuff that's cheaper and does what I want without the up-front fiddling.

good enough for government work [Posted on 2006-06-04]
Hardy little memory stick. Stores tons of pics/movies. Using it in a Sony camera. I think it's a great price right now, too.
