Smaller than a stick of chewing gum, Memory Stick digital data storage has many times the capacity of a standard 3.5" floppy disk, while providing the ability to interface with and between a potentially endless array of audio/video and computer products. With Memory Stick digital data storage, you can even transfer information, such as data, text, images and graphics without ever using a PC, using products such as the Sony Cyberframe^TM PHD-A55 digital photo frame or the DPP-MS300 Memory Stick Printer. Memory Stick storage media is currently available in 8, 16 and 32 MB capacities, with 64MB available fall '99.

• 2" Hybrid LCD Monitor with Brightness Control (122 Pixels): A Hybrid system consisting of a transmissive LCD combined with a reflective LCD. By turning the backlight off, the LCD will capture more ambient light allowing you to reduce power consumption by 20%. This will save on battery power, and help prevent LCD "wash-out" even in difficult lighting conditions.
• MPEG Movie Mode allows you to capture video and audio onto Sony's Memory Stick digital storage media for input onto your computer.
