Are there any digital products that use Memory Stix other than Sony ? xD
cards are made by Fuji (I think) so, do Fuji digitals also accept them?
Are there any cd players that can play Sony SACD discs other than Sony? I'm
really don't know but am curious.
Remember the Sony Elcaset, it was another audio tape cassette system that
was BIG like the length and width of a Beat tape. BANG another format that
didn't catch on. Here's an interesting link.
