Oh joy, Sony and SanDisk just announced a new PRO-HG Memory Stick format. The latest format is theoretically capable of delivering 32GB cards touting a continuous write speed of up to 60MB/sec; the same max capacity as the PRO Duo format but three times faster -- ideal for rapid shot modes on DSLRs or for capturing the action in real-time on direct to flash HD video recorders. Unlike the competing SDHC format's inability to work in legacy SD devices, PRO-HG is just an extension of the Memory Stick Pro format so the cards can be used interchangeably. However, PRO-HG media will function as PRO cards in PRO-only devices. In other words, you'll lose the speed advantage brought by that swank new 8-bit parallel interface. Expect to see cards and devices launched at CES in January.

I believe so. and i can only confirm so much-as far as my limited knowledge of electronics allows me to, and I don't have the exact numbers for you

@tranced, it supports high speed, it is high speed. A device that supports the Pro format will be able to use it but at Pro speeds. Its like USB, plug a USB2 device in a USB1.1 device and it'll work at 1.1 speed.

What's really important is wheter there will be higher capacities like 8GB and 16GB
I don't want a signature anymore.
