"SanDisk is responding to growing demand from users for more storage for their personal files to carry around in their phone."

SanDisk M2 mobile card - Development and Dimensions
Memory Stick Micro was co-developed by SanDisk Corporation and Sony Corporation to meet the growing storage needs of highly compact, multimedia mobile phones. M2 is designed as an externally removable media with a controlled eject function and side notch to prevent it from accidentally falling out. Its edges are slotted lengthwise to allow for more slim-line designed connectors to reduce space in the host device. M2 operates at dual voltage; 1.8V for Sony Ericsson's new line of mobile phones and 3.3V for Memory Stick PRO Duo compatible products. SanDisk M2 measures 0.59" (L) x 0.49" (W) x 0.05" (H), making it the second smallest flash memory media in the world, behind the microSD, which SanDisk pioneered.
