Do we have any idea of pricing for this yet, Alister?

No idea, my guess is that the adapter will be the same price as the memory stick version which is around 100 euro list.

86 quid. Sony must think we are all chumps!

Not only that - there is a real possibility that the accompanying firmware announced with Sony's own adapter will disable all those MxM and MxRs, don't you think?

No, because if they do that they'll break their USB hard disk solution.

But with any firmware or hardware upgrade, let the people who are desperate to be early adopters take the risk. Sony don't exactly have a great track record.

And then there's the price of the special sony memory sticks, they cost a lot more than the sdhc cards.

One thing to note is that they are saying that you need to use Class 10 cards with the adaptor.
