Lexar Media Expands Product Line with Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo
Lexar Media, Inc. announced plans
to manufacture and distribute Memory Stick Duo. The newly introduced Memory
Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo are one-third the volume and one half the
weight of a standard Memory Stick, which makes them ideal for mobile phones,
compact digital cameras and mobile electronic devices.
The Memory Stick Duo offered by Lexar Media will be available in capacities
of 32MB, 64MB and 128MB, and utilizes a parallel interface for high speed data
transfer when connected to host products with a parallel interface. It will
be compatible with most existing Memory Stick Duo devices and Memory Stick devices
when used with an adapter that is supplied with the product.
Lexar Media’s Memory Stick PRO Duo utilizes the latest generation Memory Stick
format and will be available in capacities of 256MB and 512MB, with a theoretical
maximum storage capacity of 32GB. Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo
are equipped with MagicGate, a copyright protection technology that consists
of authentication and encryption technologies. The authentication technology
ensures that protected content is only transferred between compliant devices
and media, and that protected content is recorded and transferred in an encrypted
format to prevent unauthorized copying or playback.
Lexar Media plans to begin shipments of Memory Stick Duo in September 2003,
and shipments of Memory Stick PRO Duo in capacities of 256MB and 512MB in September
and October 2003, respectively.
