DUO works great with the Sony PlayStation Portible. Plenty of room to save game data, pictures, MP3s, and a MP4-encoded feature-length movie. Includes an adapter so the 1.25 inch DUO can fit into devices that take a regular 2 inch Memory Stick Pro.

The 2 gig card is excellent. I was able to take about 400 pics at 5meg and several (20) movie clips at the highest settings; still had about 512k left over at a party. Great for any dig cam that takes movies and pics.

Each Movie clips were very long I would say.

I don't know what that one reviewer was commenting on. If you use memory cards for digital cameras, Sony is awesome. Their cameras have superb picture quality. This 2gb memory stick card for Sony camera is VERY FAST. I highly recommend Sony product period.

This product exceeded my expectations. I initially purchased this Sony Memory Stick to increase the recording time side for my Sony TSC-30/B digital camera up to the supposed 35 mins (according to the specs) standard. To my surprise it increased to almost 3 times that, at 1 hour 32 mins! The clarity is phenomenal. The standard Memory Stick runs the video at 30 frames per second (fps), this High Speed Memory stick takes it to 80 fps. I am loving every minute of it! Going thru Amazon was a big plus also. I got it at $149.00 which is just $30.00 over the standard retail 2GB price (around $120.00). At retail I would have paid twice the cost. Thanks Amazon.

Sony's DSC-H5 camera website doesn't show compatibility with this memory. I called Sony to check and was told it would work with DSC-H5, they just hadn't updated their website, so I purchased.
When I inserted into camera, I was afraid she'd told me incorrectly as I got an 'Access' message for about 60 seconds, then a 'Reinsert Memory Stick' message. Tried multiple times with no luck, and finally called Sony. Was told to remove the batteries (leave Memory Stick in), hold POWER button down for 15 seconds (to reset camera to factory settings), then re-insert batteries. Hey...it worked!
Not enough experience to really rate 5 stars, but since it works, and I could buy the high speed card as cheap as I could find 'regular' speed cards, I just tossed it in the 5 star category.

I bought this high-speed MSD (Memory Stick Duo) card to use with Windows Vista's ReadyBoost feature. (ReadyBoost uses a high-speed flash memory card to cache certain system files in lieu of using the hard disk, thus boosting system performance.) It works really well. I also tested its general read/write speed by copying large files as well as many small files. On my Sony VAIO laptop (with a built-in MSD reader) the speed is phenomenal.

This card is also compatible with the PSP, although it does not provide any speed advantage as the PSP is happy with regular-speed MSD cards (which cost only half as much). The high speed feature can be taken advantage of in certain Sony digital cameras when it comes to continuous shooting.

I have several Memory Stick and Memory Stick Duo cards and they have all been reliable and faithful.

BTW, the "PRO" designation in this product's name simply means it's more than 512MB. (The pre-512MB Memory Sticks carried no PRO designation.) This card is also MagicGate compatible meaning it can be used in certain Sony products that require copy protection schemes. Neither of these designations matters to most users. You can use this card safely in all Sony and other MSD-compatible devices.

I bought this for my psp and it is amazing and cheap. It arived early. WAY WORTH IT!!!

The memory stick does not have any flaws and I have not had a problem with it yet. Great transfer speeds compared to the normal ones that Sony has and the adapter is also handy for use with other compatible products.

It's flash storage media. It always works; and works for years to come.

I've transferred large files and I'm impressed with the high transfer rate. You can stream media from the device at high bit-rates, such as high definition video in progressive scan, while writing and reading other files stored on the Memory Stick simultaneously.

The Memory Stick Pro Duo works flawlessly with the PSP, and for other Sony devices, it's perfect for capturing high quality images. For people who want an excellent flash drive, who don't use Sony products, buy a Memory Stick Reader ($5). It's an attachable USB 2.0 adapter, which connects to the side of the Memory Stick, making the use of a Sony product for transferring unnesessary.

This is a good buy, and it's getting even cheaper due to higher capacity Memory Sticks being released by Sony and SanDisk.

Update/Edit:

I don't understand why several people have given such a bad rating to this product, saying that the ipod has a 30GB hard drive. That's a 'hard drive', which fails after about 2 years, and is vulnerable to certain environmental conditions such as low atmospheric pressure, low temperatures, etc. The 2GB Pro Duo has no moving parts though, meaning that it will always perform in even the most demanding conditions.

The Memory Stick may be priced a little high, but that's already been justified by it's small size and outstanding performance.

This memory stick works well with the PSP. Even though it does not have the 30g carrying capacity of an ipod, you can just choose a set of songs you want to listen too and put them on in a flash, thanks to the high speed capabitlies of this memory stick. And once you think of it, Isn't it cheaper to just buy a memory stick like this one of amazon then buying a nano? Isn't is easier than carrying both a psp and another mp3 player or something?
