huh? it's two different things. different creator.
m2 from sony and SDcard i dont know who create. tongue.gif
its like blu ray VS HD-dvd.
basically,its just the same.
maybe you will argue about speed or wutsoever.
but the main point,it's only for consumer to store files/pics/mp3/p0rn in their portable devices etc etc

they are called flash memory of different format.

micro SD is the smallest form of SD card originally developed by sandisk and few other makers whereas m2 is the smallest form of memory stick by Sony.

historically, SD was made to compete with sony MS.

and nowadays, different device use different format. e.g. SE phones use mostly sony memory stick whereas nokia, samsung and few more adopt the SD format. weirdly enough, SE k850i can take both m2 and microSD.

in term of size, micro sd is slightly smaller than m2. in term of usability, micro sd is more widely used, m2 and ms is usually retained in sony devices only.

M2 speed : Write 3MB/sec Read 10MB/sec

MicroSD : Class 2 / Class 4 / Class 6 meaning sustainable MB/sec transfer as in 2MB / 4MB / 6MB

microSD is the way to go. M2 sooner or later will be ditched!

not to say bad but expensive than microSD.

If you're using K850i, microSD is the choice.

dont think so. Sony will not ditch that. people going for Sony devices, have no choice but to use their own memory card.

but i would go for microSD too, it is very universal for a lot of devices.

so, it means that only sony devices can use M2 and others can't?

Is it real that micro is faster than M2? I see from an article that it is slower than M2 for write speed.
