Ad campaign touts multimedia cards

The Multimedia Card (MMC) Association has kicked off a yearlong advertising campaign to promote the small memory cards based on the organization's specifications. The organization, which includes several flash manufacturers like Samsung, also gave official brand names to two of the latest cards based on its specifications.

MMCplus cards measure 32 millimeters by 24 millimeters, while the MMCmobile cards will measure 18 millimeters by 24 millimeters. Both the MMCplus and MMCmobile cards transfer data at faster rates than earlier MMC cards.
