1GB MMCmobile card announced

Samsung continues to spam the flash memory world, this time annoucing a 1GB version of their "MMCmobile" card. MMC, MMCplus, MMCmobile (a.k.a. RS MMC), MMCmicro… so up next is "MMCnano"? Of course if it's only introducing models with a higher capacity, we're not one to complain. But if we had to, we'd probably mention how devices that take full advantage of the 52MB/sec transfer speeds of these cards don't actually exist yet.

I'd just like to be able to FIND MMC cards for sale in my town!

I don't understand why componies decide to choose MMC cards for things like phones?! They're impossible to find :(

Man, for those of us with phones that use MMCmobile (a.k.a DV RS-MMC), it's so nice to see someone getting above the 512mb limit!

By the way, RS-MMC is one kind of memory, while DV RS-MMC (which is what MMCmobile is the name for) is a different kind of memory... phones that use DV RS-MMC (mmcmobile) cannot use the older RS-MMC cards (these include the NOkia 6630, 6680/1/2, and upcoming Nokia N-Series phones)

'Reduced Size' ? That thing looks like it's roughly 4X the size of a regular MMC/SD card. And what's up with the irregular shape ?*
