Memory Stick is a flash memory technology developed by Sony. Memory Stick allows you to record, transfer and share digital content, such as digital pictures, music, movies, voice, and computer data and applications.
Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to Memory Sticks, but they are shorter. Like the Memory Stick, SD Cards allow portable storage among a variety of devices, such as cell phones, GPS systems, digital cameras, and PDAs. SD Cards transfer data quickly, with low battery consumption.
XD Cards are very small, and are primarily designed for digital cameras. Like the Memory Stick, SD and xD cards use flash memory.
