xumdeo Guest Posts: n/a	TG: supports memorystick PRO, no software update needed?? i'm just wondering if the TG50 will support memorystick PRO without softwareupdate? what i'm concerned is not about whether or not i have to download the software, but it is that NZ and all updated-to-support-MS-PRO will NOT support MS PRO MG that's the whole point. in other words, will TG 50 support MS PRP MG??

There will not be a non-MagicGate version. So anything that support Memory Stick PRO supports MagicGate. __________________ Editor-in-Chief www.Brighthand.com News, Views, and "Hands-On" Reviews of Mobile Devices of All Types

According to the footnote in the Clie Catalog, MG cannot be used anymore after the upgrade to support MS Pro. I believe the MG that it is referring to is the current MS (non-Pro) MagicGate. So, anything that supports MS Pro, will not support MS MG. This will only be a problem to current MS MG owners...
