More new Memory Sticks from Sony.
Also, 2GB model is due out in November.

Sony will begin releasing Memory Stick PRO media with increased data transfer speeds o­n October 8th. They are Open Price.

These are Memory Stick PRO (High Speed) and Memory Stick PRO Duo (High Speed) media that support actual writing/reading speeds of 10MB/sec (80Mbps). When compared to existing models, this transfer speed is about double.

Reading these cards requires a device supporting parallel data transfer, and though the cards will operate o­n existing Memory Stick PRO devices, more detailed announcements about product support will be made in October o­n the company's homepage.

Also, the certified operating temperature of the cards has been upgraded to -25 degrees Celsius ~ 85 degrees Celsius from the existing 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, so they can now operate in more rigourous environments.
