Some early examples of Memory Stick usage by third-party companies include Sharp's MP3 players, Alpine's in-dash players, and Epson's printers. Other companies were also licensees to the format.
In October 1999, Sony licensed the technology to Fujitsu, Aiwa, Sanyo, Sharp, Pioneer and Kenwood, in a bid to avoid a repetition of the Betamax failure. The original Memory Stick, which was launched in October 1998, was available in capacities up to 128 MB.
Despite this, Sony continues to support Memory Stick on certain newer devices through the use of adaptors. With the increasing popularity of Secure Digital around 2010, Sony started to include SD in their devices, marking a surrender by Sony of its format war in the memory-card business and the end to further serious development of the format.
