As in, they're gonna stop making redundant bullshit proprietary memory cards in formats no one else uses?
Great. Glad to hear it. Good riddance. Don't let the casket lid hit you on your way out.
How are SD Cards proprietary?
They at least used to have their own "memory sticks", but I think those are long discontinued.
IIRC you had to have one for the PSP. Literally can't think of anything else using them though
Sony is and was pretty big in cameras and music players
Sony loves making their own custom formats.
This affects SD cards, which are extremely common and supported by open source operating systems. This affects Compact Flash cards, which use the same protocol as PATA hard drives, just a different connector.
Nope, affects almost every card type they make. One(1) of their Type B cards remains in production along with one regular line.
