SanDisk plans to begin selling a Memory Stick Pro media card with a 2GB capacity staring in February.
The company announced the new card at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week.
The 2GB card is the highest capacity Memory Stick Pro yet shown and doubles the maximum storage space offered by the format.
The card is expected to cost around $1000 when it goes on sale, SanDisk says in a statement.
For the Pros
CES also saw the company unveil the first Memory Stick Pro Duo cards that it developed in-house. Memory Stick Pro Duo is a physically shorter version of the full Memory Stick Pro card and aimed at use in devices where there might not be enough room to accommodate a full-size card.
SanDisk says its 256MB and 512MB Memory Stick Pro Duo cards should be on sale during the first quarter at $105 and $225 respectively.
Memory Stick Pro was first announced at CES last year and extends the capacity of Sony's original Memory Stick format beyond 128MB, although it is only compatible with certain products.
