The
MultiMediaCard Association (MMCA) has approved a new RS-MMC (Reduced Size
MultiMediaCard) standard. This new flash storage format has the same width
but almost half the length of existing MMC cards, RS-MMC cards will be
24 x 18 x 1.4 mm. Hitachi are the first manufacturer to announced RS-MMC
cards up to 64 MB in capacity. It's clear that this new reduced size format
is aimed primarily at the mobile phone / PDA market but I'm sure it would
also offer digital camera manufacturers the opportunity to build even
smaller digital cameras.
