You can hardly buy MMC anymore. SD is basically the same thing, except some functionality is integrated that can assist in Digital Rights Management schemes. If you do not use the DRM functionality (by not buying any DRM controlled content), it won't do anything creepy behind your back, and it will basically be the same thing. If large enough MMCs would still be widely available and cheaper, they would be the preferred buy, I guess...

SD is much faster than MMC.

SD prices are coming down also. Look around. In the UK i found prices for a 256 MB SD card from 90 to 120 pounds!

I found a PNY card at watford electronics for 67 pounds inc vat and delivery. (savastore.com). Thats the cheapest i could find for a 256 Mb card. And its nice and fast too.

found prices for 256 down to 85 Euro's incl VAT (SanDisk)
DaneElec often cheaper than SanDisk, probably no difference in quality, but difficult to tell
There is also brandless stuff around

Be advised we found the Dane-Elec to be incredibly slow!

MMC judging by whats on sale seems to be limited to 128mb. And seeing as a 256mb SD is around the 60 squid mark, there is no umming and arring.

Looks like MMC is about to die, unless the product line can be brought back to life. The must be something fundamental wrong with it. Why would developments stop?
