Sony, Samsung stick to memory deal
Ahh- more and more products begin to use the widly-hated Sony memory stick. "Sony and Samsung Electronics have agreed to expand a licensing agreement surrounding the Memory Stick removable card format, a move that could help broaden its reach into different products.
