The MultiMediaCard Association (MMCA) has developed and is expected to market its dual socket solution, a memory card slot that support both the MMCmicro and the competitive microSD memory card format, to the mobile phone manufactures.
The MMCA is hopping to catch up some lost ground to the more or less de-facto memory card format for mobile phones, microSD. This move in combination with the newly introduced 2 GB MMCmicro is expected to penetrate the market for mobile phones better.
According to the MMCA mobile phones supporting the dual socket solution will arrive by the fourth quarter of 2006. Still it may take some time for them to do that since no announcements has been made by any larger mobile phone manufactures for supporting the dual socket solution in their new developed mobile phones.
This solution is really good news for the consumers, since they will have the opportunity to choose any of those two cards for their mobile phone.

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.
