Sony Ericsson moving to MicroSD from Memory Stick Micro cards


All Sony Ericsson mobile phone fans had a common complain – the standard microSD card is not supported in their handset instead Sony’s own proprietary Memory Stick Micro format (or M2) is supported which is a bit costlier and comparatively less available.

All those guys can take sigh of relief now as it is known from sources that Sony is dumping its own Memory Stick Micro format (or M2) in favor of the decidedly more standard microSD for its handsets.

PS:Sony Ericsson decided earlier to join the emerging universal charger format (micro USB).
