from the posts i read here, does that mean that the ms pro duo are here to stay? what's the roadmap for their capacity, will we be seeing them in 16gb and 32gb variants?

will they work on older phones/gadgets that use ms pro duo like w800, p990i, etc? thanks

I cant see Sony (SE dont make memory cards) stopping the development of the MS Duo as it is still widely used by things like digital cameras and PSP's. Saying that though, I do use a 2gb M2 in my P990i with a Duo adapter so Sony could do that. With the new M2 8GB nearly here and the Duo only going to 8GB I dont see why they still need the Duo when a M2 with adapter will do.

MS Duo is here to stay. Maybe not in mobile phones, but certainly in Cameras, Video Cameras and other Sony hosts. Duo will be huge in video cameras, as Sony is going away from tape and using MS Duo to capture HD Video.

You should look for the new MS PRO Duo-HG, which will be 3x faster than standard MS Duo - 45MB/sec. It's coming out already and is made for the new line of Sony Alpha Cameras.

That so true because when I purchased My 200 I got a 128 M2 which was real F$*KED UP!!! The least you should get with a phone is a 512 or 1 GIG!!!

i get 2GB M2 when i bought my K800 back in march.
the price is about 75USD that day.
but as time flies, last month i can see people selling at halfprice of it...

i guess the upcoming 8GB M2 would also suffer from price-peak at the beginning of the sale...
