Sony intros 8GB Memory Stick with TransferJet
Sony has introduced new Memory Sticks with its TransferJet short-range wireless technology in Japan on Monday. The company has also introduced digital cameras that support the standard at CES earlier this month. While the first Memory Stick product with TransferJet has an 8GB capacity, it's expected that 16GB and 32GB versions are due to follow soon.
TransferJet will allow wireless data transfer at speeds up to 560Mbps, or 70MB per second, but only at a close range of just over one inch. These speeds are even quicker than the Wireless USB standard, which peaks at 480Mbps, though over much longer distances of over 3 feet. [via Akihabara]
