I just bought a Sony Wega. It has a slot for, and supports a Memory Stick
of up to 1GB, and can play back jpgs and even mp3. The Wega has a interface
for viewing pictures, sideshows and playing music. I have a number of the
USB2 Flashdrives, but I don't have a digital camera with removable memory
yet, and I know nothing about the memory sticks.

The Wega manual says the slot will support both standard and compact
versions of memory stick, but <will not> support high speed transfer.
Memory Stick Compatibility =
MagicGate
Stick Media
Stick Duo Media
Stick PRO Media
Stick PRO Duo Media
Stick Media with Memory Select Function

Of course, Sony will not support any memory stick except for it's own, nor
any computer formatted memory stick, basically anything not produced by a
Sony device.

I have been looking around, Sony stuff is expensive. The Sony read write
USB2 device is 50 bucks at Circuit City, but these Ebay read/write USB 1
devices are 4 bucks which would probably be fine for my use. Any reason why
I shouldn't get the cheap one?

Anybody know of a inexpensive USB2 read/write memory stick device?

The Sony Memory sticks are also expensive relative to say, Lexmar. Is there
any difference? Are memory Sticks, like flash drives, interchangeable? Are
memory sticks so wide spread that I can I just buy what I want, and not
worry about compatibility?

Thanks
