Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson team up on memory card standard

2009 may be the year when we finally see a unified memory format, that is, if Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson have their way. The “Universal Flash Storage specification” would see memory cards travel between cellular devices, digital cameras and other memory hungry devices without the need for adapters — and it’ll likely save us some coin, too. Some big name memory manufacturers are purportedly onboard, with names like Micron Technology Inc., Spansion LLC, STMicroelectronics NV, and Texas Instruments Inc., being bandied about. We look forward to that magical day, when our stacks of memory cards can be reduced to a stack of one type of card, ahhh… progress.
