message: 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.

message: Camel case indeed...
The MMC Association uses "MultiMediaCard" instead of "Multimedia Card" or "MultiMedia Card".

: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)

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

thread_title:  eMMC never expanded 

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

message: Is MMCPlus really backwards compatible w/ all MMC-versions?
Because one in a store I have seen a MMCPlus card and on the package it only said, that it is fully backwards compatible w/ MMC 2.x and 3.x, but it said nothing about MMC 1.x. --MrBurns (talk) 01:19, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

* MMC
* RS-MMC
* SD

thread_title: Discusion to merge [[MMCmicro]] and [[miCard]] into this article

message: According to this HowToGeek article there is some kind of distinction between SSD and eMMC but this article is part of the "solid state computer storage media" category... and I got the impression when it mentioned "traditional solid-state drives" I figured that meant MMC were non-traditional SSDs and said they were SSDs in the intro. Did I intepret this wrong? If not SSDs then what are MMCs classified as?
The term 'solid state' is in the category. Would it be an SSC, a solid-state card? --64.228.88.135 (talk) 23:17, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: eMMC versus [[SSD]]s

message: Please add images of eMMC. Also, it seems that eMMC is not user-pluggable. The article should make this simple basic fact very clear! The term eMMC is confusingly self-contradictory. "Card" would seem to suggest user changeability. "Embedded" tends to mean "physically hidden", and then may or may not be changeable if somehow exposed to physical access. But in this case the "e" seems to mean both hidden and also soldered in place?-96.233.20.34 (talk) 18:20, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  eMMC not user changeable 

message: There should be an eMMC column added to the table.
The article suggests that eMMC is not user changeable, but we can see a case here where it effectively is user changeable: https://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G145622510341 --> https://web.archive.org/web/20181028123959/https://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G145622510341 _[comment: the above mentioned link is dead, so. but visual editing is blocked for some reasons, and i dont remember syntax for dead links myself]_.   This seems to be rare, so it is probably exceptional.  Jasonnet (talk) 04:03, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  eMMC 

message: As the original description stated (taken from the archived version of its website http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130116231646/http://www.theminidrive.com/TheMiniDrive.com/Specs.html) The MiniDrive is an adapter that allows anyone to add additional storage space to a laptop through use of a (64gb) microSD card. It slips into the MacBook’s SD card slot to enable a semi-permanent, on-board, secondary storage drive. In other words it's just a microSD to SD adapter, whose length is shortened to that of an RS-MMC for the purpose of long-term installation in SD card readers from which standard microSD to SD adapters would protrude. It will obviously not work in MMC/MMC+ based devices that don't support SD (e. g. Nokia Symbian Series 60 V1/V2 smartphones). I am deleting the paragraph about it from the article.

message: Hey everyone
Most of the articles about the miCARD seems to point that sales will begin as of june 2007. However I can't seem to find any information about this.
Does this card really exists ? Or was it only a project ?
Thanks a lot
