The Sony Memory Stick On In Things today, In Touch presenter, Greg Melvill-Smith, talks to Andrew Fraser about the SONY Memory Stick.

It can also be used with combination video cameras, allowing you to take still images with the video camera, thereby recording the still pictures on the memory stick and allowing the user to send those pictures via e-mail to friends and family.

The memory stick is a new data transfer device developed by Sony. It uses flash memory to transfer data. It comes in a 4/ 8/16/32 or 64 mega-bite flash memory chip, designed for use in computers and audio visual products.
There are various ways to send the data from the memory stick to your Notebook PC, the most simplest being a PC NCIA adaptor. The memory stick slots into the adaptor, which then slots into your PC and is treated like a normal Disk-drive. With the Desk-top computer, you have an option of connecting up a serial cable from your camera to your PC, and downloading the images from the Memory stick. The Video Camera comes with a serial port adaptor, which allows you to transfer the data from the memory stick to your PC
