Compatibility with other memory

P990i defines its own folder structure on a Memory
Stick, within a vendor-specific area and this is the
only area that can be accessed by all of P990i
applications, except for the File manager. The File
manager may be used to move files between the
P990i's MMFH (Multimedia File Handling) system
and folders placed on the Memory Stick by other
devices, thus allowing files to be shared between
P990i and other devices.
