There are five variant of MMC (MultiMediaCard) memory cards... MMC, MMC Plus, RS-MMC, MMC mobile and MMC Micro.
The postage stamped sized MMC cards are the original MMC card and are compatible in SD devices. MMC plus cards were introduced in 2005 as an upgrade to the original MMC card. MMC Plus cards offer faster data transfer and are backwards compatible with the original MMC format although a software upgrade is required.
RS-MMC (Reduced-Size Multi Media Card) introduced in 2004 are approx half the size of a regular MMC card. MMC Mobile cards are upgraded version of RS-MMC and are optimised for mobile phone usage with low voltage, high data transfer. MMC Mobile cards are fully backwards compatible with RS-MMC. Adaptors are available to use RS-MMC and MMC Mobile cards in regular MMC card slots.
Finally, MMC Micro cards are smaller and thinner than MMC mobile cards measuring only 14mm x 12mm. The are also backwards compatible with the original MMC provided an adaptor is used.
