Memory stick
A memory stick started out as a proprietary
interface promulgated by the Sony
Corporation. The first versions were about the size of a
stick of gum. Newer versions are about half the length of the
older version (marketed under the name Memory Stick Duo) to fit
into smaller devices. Their primary usage is as removable computer
storage.
For example, a digital
camera will store images onto a memory stick. The memory
stick may be removed and plugged into a computer or printer with
an appropriate slot so the images may be transferred to the
computer or printed.
Memory sticks may also carry music or anything else that can be
distilled into a digital format.
Additionally, some versions have an additional feature called MagicGate
which assists the device using the memory stick with content
protection.
