Chial,

You best inquire with the MMC association. I am sure they would be happy to volunteer this information. I believe that the incorporation of MMC into the Symbian venture was announced earlier and this may serve as the "defacto standard" for future mobile computing and telecommunications.

By the way, the Europeans (the Nokia's, Ericsson's and Philips across the pond) may be driving this market. We still can't agree on a common standard while in Europe there is only GSM. It really makes it alot simpler for both the telecommunications industry and the end-user. Hopefully incorporation of SNDK's innovations will guarantee a permanent position in the mobile computing market.
