Cooters, Thanks for your anecdote about digital camera sales. I trust your experience is not unique. "Still looking for an answer to the compatibility between MMC and CF cards." There was an announcement about 1 year ago that SanDisk would offer a CF to MMC adapter. The question I had is what the utility of such a device would be? I could understand a MMC to type II PCMCIA adapter, but not a CF adapter. Because CF uses a standard ATA-interface, while MMC uses a proprietary MMC-interface I am also unsure whether MMC is plug 'n' play in a CF slot. Clearly, because the manufacturing cost for MMC (MB for MB) is less than for CF, MMC could represent a threat to CompactFlash if an adapter was available. Right now I am in favor of segmentation of SanDisk's flash offerings with CF being targeted for digital cameras and mobile computing, while MMC is tailored for MP3 and handsets. What would you use the CF to MMC adaptor for? Just curious. Aus
