xD Picture Cards
Memory Stick is a flash memory technology developed
by Sony Electronics. Memory Stick allows you to record,
transfer and share digital content, such as digital
pictures, movies, music, 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. Like the memory stick, it uses flash
memory architecture.
xD Cards work the same as Memory Sticks and SD
Cards, but they are much smaller than either one. Using
an xD Card in the slot requires an adapter. xD Cards are
primarily used to store and transfer images with devices
such as cell phones.
