Samsung announced today that it has developed a 2 GB MMCmicro memory card that combines four 4Gbit NAND flash devices. The 2 GB memory card has been developed only three months after Samsung led the industry by launching a 1GB MMCmicro. An included adapter will allow the MMCmicro to be plugged into any MultiMediaCard slot.
Samsung is pushing hard for the adoption of the MMCmicro as the de facto memory card for mobile phones. This goal will be hard to achieve since microSD is today the de facto memory card. Most of today’s mobile phones are having a microSD slot and it is expected that the mobile phones that will be introduced will have a microSD slot.According to Dataquest, the global memory card market will grow five percent between 2005 and 2010, the MultiMediaCard market will grow 17% and the MMCmicro market by 95% during the same period.
