Sony Cyber-shot G1 camera

Sony today revealed its Cyber-shot G1, a digital camera with a 6-megapixel sensor with a 3.5-inch LCD boasting 921,000-pixel resolution. The extra detail improves the camera's software features -- such as photo slideshows with musical soundtracks and a user-friendly interface with a dynamic search system that discovers photos by color, face, or framing. The camera is the first Cyber-shot model to integrate Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to share between cameras and other devices that fit the Digital Living Network Alliance standard. The device also features 2GB of internal memory and support for Memory Stick Duo cards as large as 8GB, according to Electronista. The camera offers image stabilization to correct shots from the 3X optical zoom lens, and users can take shots at u p to ISO 1000 native sensitivity or record 640x480 MPEG-4 videos with sound. The camera is scheduled to ship in April for $600.

Exactly how long are Sony going to continue to ram Memory Stick down our throats (or elsewhere) when many other less expensive storage forms are far more prevalent? Who do they think they are, Microsoft?

Where does G fit in?

So, how does this fit into the current line up? Is this an ulta-compact like the T-series? For a consumer cam, I need something small so I can take it wherever discretely.
