MultiMediaCard is one word, no?Really?
... I'm pretty sure it's one word in Germany, but I've seen it used both ways in the US. Point of fact, though: if you feed "MultiMediaCard" to Google, it will return a lot of hits, but it will ask you if you meant "MultiMedia card", which gives you even more hits... so the popular consensus seems to lean toward two words. For all that's worth.
"Note: The term MultiMediaCards is always spelled out as one string, with the MM and C in caps. The MultiMediaCard Association may be abbreviated MMCA. These terms, as well as SecureMMC, are registered trademarks of the MultiMediaCard Association." From the MMCA web site. This article should be renamed. ---Ransom (--208.25.0.2 16:46, 10 May 2006 (UTC))
In other news, the "Embedded systems developer specs at Sandisk" link is broken. Maybe it should point to http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/OEM/ApplicationNotes/MultiMediaCard/AppNoteMMC_SDv1.0.pdf? I can't be sure since I don't know what the original document was.

[edit] MultiMediaCard
Camel case indeed... The MMC Association uses "MultiMediaCard" instead of "Multimedia Card" or "MultiMedia Card". 200.153.242.116 04:54, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dead link situation
The samsung links under [3] and [4] no longer work. I couldn't find any replacements.
[edit] random question.
Is it only DV RS-MMC that is compatible with Nokia N90? I have an SD MMC, can I use it with my N90 device?
[edit] Open Standard
What does this phrase actually mean?
- This technology is an open standard available to any company who wants to improve upon it or develop products for it.
Is it royalty-free? Is there an open process for new revisions of the spec? The current wording doesn't tell readers anything useful. --Dtcdthingy 15:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] SD
In the article it mentions SD but doesn't explain what SD is or what it stands for. What exactly is it?--Jcvamp 15:04, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] MMC card--Redundant?
I noticed in this article that there are places where it says "MMC card". Isn't saying 'MMC card' sort of redundant? After all, MMC stands for MultiMediaCard, so saying "MMC card" is like saying MultiMediaCard card, isn't it? 131.230.53.188 19:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes. It's the same as when people say PIN number. PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. People are strange like that.--Jcvamp 11:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Competition
Does MMC really *compete* with SD cards? Anything that reads SD can read MMC cards. I've never seen MMC only devices. --24.249.108.133 18:34, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
this is referring to competition to get competitiors to support a certain standard. There are many devices which are MMC only - most older Series 60 Nokia phones, for example (3650 to name on). There aren't any devices which *only* support SD, and not MMC too - is this what you mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.111.40.242 (talk) 08:34, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
