I am sure you wouldn't agree that Vaio still exists under Sony unless you believed that Rollei camera, Motorola mobile, IBM PC, Rolls-Royce auto still exist under their original parent companies and still have a say in their daily operations.
Maybe some better examples of products dumped by Sony are the Walkman when Creative Zen & Apple iPod came out, Betamax, Super 8mm Handycam, Memory Sticks of different sizes and the most recently and soon to be XQD because they themselves did not implement them in their own products.
Actually having the same brand as a former well known company is a norm for new startup to capitalized on the markets nowadays, so many little known companies are doing that to confuse new and uninformed customers. Here I am not saying companies like Samsung, Lenovo, VW and BMW are small. These are the companies which bought over the above products and expanded their markets.
I must also give you the credit for posting the above information, because without it I wouldn't know that there is still a company by the name of Vaio.
well, i guess you just can't know everything. they have been around since 2014 right after sony sold it to JIP and still kept a few percent invested too.
CFExpress essentially is XQD on steroids. XQD had a 10 year run and i made good use of it during that time. in fact i still use it in my D500 and Z6. until my cards show issues they are in use. Sony decided to go with CFexp A cards so they could maintain a cross usability factor with SD cards still in the same slot
