Oh, and did you hear about this too, not only the same chargers, but a universal Memory Card as well.

Finally, now i don't have to worry about all my extra accessories, or the bundle of memory cards i have (rs-MMC, MMC, SD, MicroSD, MiniSD, and MemoryStick M2 micro, and Pro DUO) Gosh, i have a lot, now that i think about it.....I really hope all the manufacturers follow through on One Charging Port, and One Memory Card.

yeah,i've seen that recently.i think i read it'll be 2009 or so before it'll happen though.have you seen the new se that uses both micro sd and m2's.it's pretty cool cuz they go into the same slot,just the opposite side of one another.

Yea i found it, one face up and one face down. Pretty cool. I've never been a fan of CyberShots too much, i prefer their Walkman Line. I have a Digi i take with me almost everywhere so i don't mess with Cameras on my phone too often, unless its spy shots of some T-Mobile poster or something, lol

I've never had one of the cybershot phones before,only the w810,but the media player on this phone seems just as capable as any of the walkman line of phones.it's also got that cool rotating screen like the iphone and n95 for watching videos.Plus it's got track recognition,which i think would be a really cool feature.

I have all that minus the rotating screen on my w580, it plays movies in landscape or portrait by selecting it, unlike the iPhone. The Walkman 2.0 player is cool, I've seen a preview of Walkman 3.0, and that looks even better! The ones on CyberShot i think are still based on Walkman 1.0 players.
Look at me go, all off-topic, I'm a Sony fanboy too, what can i say? :D

From what I've read I think this phone actually is based on Walkman 2.0(the first cybershot with it i believe),but I know what you mean.Version 3 will be out soon,so it'll totally be outdated soon after it comes out.

Ah it is about time they did this, it will be very convenient for the user. Although...it will also make it easier for the manufacturers to jack up the prices of these accessories.
