I'm using this in a Sony Erricson cell phone (710a), and it works like a champ, no problems. I didn't even have to format this one!

I bought a pair of these for my Sony ICD-BM1 voice recorder.

This dictaphone only can accept the original memory stick media, not larger than 128 MB. Therefore, any of other variations (Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Pro Duo, Memory Stick Pro-HG, etc.) are not compatible with this voice recorder. I imagine there are still many devices out there using the original Memory Stick cards. I didn't try other cards (as I don't have such cards), however I checked the compatibility for my dictaphone on Sony's support webpage, and I recommend the same for you. [...]

However, among the original Memory Stick cards, this is the fastest variation available. The official name is "Memory Stick High Speed Duo", and you have to pay attention to the product code, "MSH-M128A", as the product with N in the ending is slow speed (MSH-M128N or MSH-128). I wish there were even faster cards with this controller standard (useful when loading the card, or when copying over the PC).

My voice recorder also needs the included dummy adapters, to fit for the larger format. They work perfectly well, no compatibility, quality or speed issues. I use a lot of short recordings, and sometimes long recordings, but I didn't notice any speed reduction due to wear of the flash memory (common for pendrives and memory cards after many read-write cycles - I recommend to only buy new memory cards).

So, highly recommended.

Note:
There is a Memory Stick MSH-256 256 MB card also on the market. This is slow speed, and unless specifically noted, devices will record only 128 MB.

I bought this for an older Sony camera that I use for business travel. The camera will accept DUO but not PRO DUO Memory Sticks. Since this item was advertised as being for a Sony game system (PSP, I think), I wasn't 100% sure it would work. As an FYI, there is a great cross reference guide for cameras on the support section of Sony's website. As it turns out, this item works perfectly and I'm very happy with it.

I use these both with and without the adapter - in a digital picture frame, in my camera, and in my cell phone. They work well in all three. Very happy with this product.

I bought it to use in a Sony H-2 Digital camera. It works great, but you do need the adapter to put the memory card in the slot of your computer to edit/send/transfer pictures. That is not a problem with the card, as it is the size that the camera calls for.

It works straight out of the box no formatting required in a Sony DSC-S70 camera. So if you have an older Sony product that supports the old MagicGate memory stick this is a great buy.

Like the reviewer below, I have a Sony DSC-F707 digital camera (purchased in early 2002). I have been using the memory sticks that I purchased at the time I acquired the camera. The memories have begun having access problems when the camera starts; repeatedly ejecting and inserting the memory stick solves the problem (so far) but doesn't bode well. Finding these Sony memory sticks available for a satisfactory price was a godsend. The package contains a Duo Memory Stick which is not size compatible with the original memory stick. However, the package also includes an adapter which "converts" the Duo chip into a classic memory stick. Works perfectly in the camera. On the card reader interface on my PC, the adapter case was just a bit too fat to plug in; I had to remove the Duo chip from the adapter and plug it into the reader in order to read the jpeg files on the chip. Not a big deal and may not be the case for most flash memory readers.

Great product and the people down there are wonderful. My order was delayed in the US Mail ( due to the postal system ) and when I called told them I need the order for a trip I was talking they were very polite and said no worries we will send you another one pirotiy mail !!! Saved the day they did , will be coming back to these fine folks !!!

This product worked on my older Sony DCS-F707 digital camera. last time I needed memory I bought 2 sony 128mb magicgate memory sticks for abut $12 each.... imagine the shock when I look into getting a few more and they are - $90 each??? so after much research and consideration I bought 3 of these - they all worked right out of the box... just to make sure I loaded one up completely with as many high res picts as I could-no loss, worked great.
I have a wedding to photograph this coming weekend so I am very happy I now have a number of working sticks! If you have an older Sony camera such as the F707 I recomend this highly

OK so the world has moved on to other media; from MB to GB. My old Sony works very well and it's a comfort to know I have extra memory sticks that work just as well as the old ones did. no glitches.
