Incompatible Memory Sticks coming?

ZDNet News reckons Sony is going to release a new version of the Memory Stick with capacities up to a gigabyte and more. It says: "One source familiar with Sony's Memory Stick overhaul said the company had planned to introduce the new format around the third quarter of this year, but pulled back after receiving negative feedback from early reviewers who panned the format's lack of compatibility with older devices." Comment: It was typical of Sony's NIH (Not Invented Here) approach to do its own proprietary thing with removable memories instead of using one of the numerous alternatives (and there are already too many of those), but you don't really expect them to make such a mess of it.
