SAN DIEGO, April. 25, 2007 – To support the growth of products that record large amounts of data, such as high mega pixel digital cameras and high-definition camcorders, Sony today announced the availability of its new Memory Stick® PRO-HG Duo media, which offers data transfer up to three times faster than standard Memory Stick Duo products.

Available in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB capacities, Sony’s Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo media has shorter data transmission times and faster recording times between hardware thanks to an 8-bit parallel interface and the flash memory device. With the addition of four connector pins to the Memory Stick’s traditional 4-bit parallel interface, the resulting 8-bit parallel interface provides data transfer of up to 30MB/s (240 Mbps) megabytes per second

This doesn't benefit Sony Ericsson users since the phones that use MSPD probably don't support these high speeds and the newer phones are using the M2 sticks.
