And now the real reason Sony survives fiasco after fiasco
I work as management in a big box retail outlet. I get a call to the photo dept.

A lady had jammed her boyfriend's memory stick (the one that's half the size of normal) into the full size memory stick slot. It was now unretrievable.
Lady " Just get a paperclip and tape...that's how the girl at the other store did it..."
Internally I'm thinking "and you didn't learn your lesson the first time?..."
Having assesed her as being about as bright as a 40W lamp. I turn to her male companion..."Y'now these come with an adapter to fit the normal size slot" (like microSD and miniSD get read through the SD slot).
Lady "Oh, he knows nothing about stuff like this...It's his camera but I'm the techie ...I help him figure this stuff out..."

This is another reason why I will NOT buy Sony. Yes their kit is lovely, but they insist on making it proprietory. Then it does not easily interface with generic PC kit. They isolate themselves.

As I read this intial post and the related replies, I couldn't wait to offer my sentiments on why I would never buy another Sony product. To sum it up in one word, proprietary comes to mind. And then, there is also the related issue of paying a major premium for that privilege.

However, as I type this, I am looking at my iPod and feeling the same way as I swore I would never buy an Apple product for the same reason. Although, to be fair to me, I did not technically "buy" this iPod as I used my American Express points.

And, add to this, the fact that I am typing this message on a Windows-based computer that I always use Microsoft programs (when I have a choice) because the software integrates so well with my Windows-based smartphones.

So, after giving this lots of thought, I am going to go away now. Forget everything you read in the first paragraph.
