The Prophet asks:

>>The question is, does SNDK get royalties on all MMC cards? <<

I don't know for sure, but...
Siemens, Toshiba, and Sandisk probably split MMC and SD roylties. You have a unified European, Japanese, and American corporate effort to try and make this a new standard for removable digital storage. I think it would take this kind of profit-sharing to make it work.

Rival technolgies do not have nearly the broad worldwide support and promotion MMC and SD do.
