As the demand for multi-megapixel digital cameras (and to a lesser degree, currently, digital camcorders) grows, so too does the clamoring for higher-capacity, on-board portable storage. Not to disappoint, the end of 2003 and early 2004 saw a host of announcements responding to just this demand."<br /><br />This article goes on to talk about the current state the union with regard to flash memory formats, and their impact on each other. It's nice to see that MMC hasn't faded away completely - they're planning a comeback. It amazes me that Smartmedia is still clinging to life, albeit in a Gameboy. Interestingly enough, xD isn't even mentioned.
