 Intel memory system - Mobile phones
"Intel Corporation is pleased to work as a direct link between the CE-ATA Promoter Group and the MMCA board to create a true common HDD (Hard Disk Drive) interface standard for CE devices," said Rick Coulson, Intel Corporation Fellow and Director of I/O Architecture. "Intel Corporation advocates industry recognized bus architectures that can be used by different memory systems on mobile phones and small consumer electronics devices, such as the MMC (MultiMedia Card) interface."
MMC digital media product
MMC has achieved a significant market share in mobile phone and other memory card applications in consumer devices. Its performance advantage has distinguished it against other memory card standards for future growth, said Kuppinger, media product manager at Kingston.

"Individually and collectively, they bring tremendous experience to the MMCA, as we continue building our position as the leading memory card standards for mobile communications and digital imaging."
