Sony Relents After 11 Years, Launches First SD Card Line-Up

Big news from the Sony camp today – they’re embracing 1999′s flash-in-the-pan fad and have launched their first line-up of SD cards. Hopefully that spells the death of the evil Memory Stick and sliding disinterest in their propriety formats.

There’s five SD/SDHC cards and three microSD/microSDHC cards on offer, all class-4 speed. The 2GB SD is $US14.99, and for SDHCs the 4GB is $US29.99, 8GB is $US44.99, 16GB is $US79.99, 32GB $US159.99.

The 2GB microSD is $US14.99, 4GB is $US29.99 and 8GB is $US44.99. All come with adaptors and the possibility of a heart attack being brought on as Sony loses a little more of its stubbornness. [Sony]
