Sony Memory Stick
A family of flash memory cards from Sony designed for digital storage in cameras, camcorders and other handheld devices. Introduced in 1998 with 4MB and 8MB capacities, the original 2" modules looked like a short stick of chewing gum. Sony also designed Memory Sticks as I/O devices for cameras, GPS and Bluetooth modules, but they were not widely used.
Memory Stick Versions
The original Memory Stick reached a maximum of 128MB. A Memory Select version had two 128MB memory banks with a tiny switch for selecting one or the other. In 2003, the Memory Stick PRO came out with a little more transfer speed and increased storage capacity, eventually reaching into the gigabyte range. However, the major change was the Duo format, which is half as thick and a third shorter than the original module (see images below). See flash memory.

Reviews for "Step into the ethereal realm of the Magic Ice Bar in Reykjavik"
- John Doe - 1 star - I was really disappointed with my visit to Magic ice bar in Reykjavik. The concept of an ice bar sounded intriguing, but the reality was far from satisfying. First of all, the prices were exorbitant for what was essentially a small and average-looking bar made of ice. I expected a more immersive experience, but instead, it felt more like a tourist trap. The staff was also quite unfriendly and seemed disinterested in providing a pleasant experience. Overall, I wouldn't recommend Magic ice bar to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable outing in Reykjavik.
- Jane Smith - 2 stars - I was excited to visit Magic ice bar in Reykjavik, but it turned out to be a bit underwhelming. While the ice sculptures were impressive, the overall atmosphere of the bar was lacking. The space was small and overcrowded, making it difficult to fully appreciate the sculptures or enjoy a drink. Additionally, the drinks were overpriced, even considering the novelty of the experience. The service was also subpar, with a lack of attentiveness from the staff. Overall, I wouldn't say it was a terrible experience, but I wouldn't choose to visit Magic ice bar again in the future.
- Sarah Johnson - 2.5 stars - My visit to Magic ice bar in Reykjavik was rather underwhelming. The highlight of the attraction was undoubtedly the ice sculptures, which were beautifully crafted. However, the rest of the experience fell short. The bar itself was quite small and lacked comfortable seating options. The temperature inside was uncomfortably cold, even with the provided coats. The limited variety of drinks available and the high prices also left much to be desired. Ultimately, while the ice sculptures were impressive, I didn't find the overall experience worth the cost or discomfort.
