The Sony MRW62E-S1-171 supports a whopping 17 memory card formats. Compatible with PC’s and Macs, available this month.

• Memory Stick
• Memory Stick Duo
• Memory Stick PRO
• Memory Stick PRO Duo
• MagicGate Memory Stick
• Memory Stick Micro
• CompactFlash
• Microdrive
• SmartMedia
• xD-Picture Card
• SD Memory Card
• SDHC
• miniSD Card
• MultiMediaCard and RS-MMC

Seriously people, we need to get a handle on this. 17 formats is just ridiculous. I’m all for competition but they’re all practically the same, save for different write/read speeds and size. Pretty soon we’ll be seeing 27 memory card reader formats.

   Ehrm… SXS is a upcoming format in 2007/2008 and supposedly there will be more. I’m already missing the miniSDHC cards….

   i have a cheap 8 euro reader that says “35 in 1″. But I guess it’s lying. (I’ve only used it for two formats)
