^^^^^^

if u dont know what`s the difference between UMD and MD - then dont say this kind of stuff. Saying something about those 2(umd and md) products without experience using them is just a crap comments that came out of the ass.

One of the main reasons for not using MD in their cameras and PSP is because MD has a limited speed of writing which is too slow for cameras or PSP.

Another reason is that UMD format(as far as i know) is not writable, since Sony didnt release UMD drives yet.

"When I have a camera, a videogame, a DAP, a PDA and so on, and each one uses a different standard for storage, it becomes a pain and expensive. Sony uses MemoryStick for a simple reason: if you have any one Sony product which uses it - you're more likely to buy other Sony products, just to share the same media.

That's a lousy way to get customers."

You contradict yourself, sony uses this format to make it easier for the user - you said it urself, but then you crap on youself again...how sad;)

And ya atrac isnt popular because you have to convert your mp3s to it - THATs the only reason why.

On the plus side - atrac is very good for saving space on your precious DAP. Sony also uses atrac since with atrac sony`s DAPs sound really good(which they do even with mp3 - i have tested all the major DAPs(with the same heaphones) on the market and Sony`s products always sounded much better then other DAPS).

anyways, you got some beating but it`s all good, just try to stop sayin stuff that you have no idea about.
