M2 media is designed as an externally removable media with a controlled eject function to prevent loss of data. It’s also dual-voltage, so it will work with both phones and existing Memory Stick PRO compatible products.
Users can store various types of content, such as contacts and email attachments as well as multimedia files including music, pictures, video clips and documents. As the M2 is an external storage media, it allows users to exchange this content between the mobile phone and a PC with a Memory Stick PRO slot, using the supplied M2 adaptor.

Sony plans to ship the 256MB and 512MB versions of the M2 media from March, and the 1GB model from May 2006.
