It is a symptom of very rapid change in the non-volatile RAM market that there 
are so many types of card and standard.  I own at least 2 examples of four 
different memory card systems.  Slowly though it's going to sort itself out as 
Smartmedia looks like going to the tarpits of electronic history (I have three 
of those by the way) but it may be a while I think.

Just to put this back vaguely back on the accessibility side, has anybody lost 
their prized memory card, the SD ones are particularly small without their 
cases and not that much easier to find.  I suppose if you were a girl you have 
SD card earings so you wouldn't loose them.

  Thanks Clive, he says with a grimace.  I'l be in the Nokia talking phone era 
myself before long.  I am not encouraged by yet another sort of card to buy.

  I just wish these pointless standards variations would just up and go away, 
but its too late now.

  I know you can get multi-card readers, and less commonly, writers, but its a 
pain.

  | Hello Ray,
  | 
  | My Nokia 6600 takes MMC memory cards.  I replaced the 32MB card with a 
  | 512MB one bought from eBay.  I don't know if all mobile phones take 
  | this type of card.  I know some cameras use XD memory cards.  How 
  | confusing!

  | Best wishes,
