Memory Stick is a flash memory technology developed
by Sony. Memory Stick allows you to record, transfer
and share digital content, such as digital pictures, music,
movies, voice, and computer data and applications.
Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to Memory
Sticks, but they are shorter. Like the Memory Stick, SD
Cards allow portable storage among a variety of devices,
such as cell phones, GPS systems, digital cameras, and
PDAs. SD Cards transfer data quickly, with low battery
consumption.
XD Cards are very small, and are primarily designed for
digital cameras. Like the Memory Stick, SD and xD
cards use flash memory.
