Samsung develops new MMCplus card

Samsung has upped the ante in the MultiMediaCard market after it successfully developed the highest density MMC card that has its roots from the advanced multi-level cell NAND flash memory. In addition, Samsung also has developed the best performing MMC card based on single-level cell NAND flash as well, making both MLC-based MMCplus cards prime candidates to usher in a new era for portable devices. The new MMCplus card will come in 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB capacities, offering a read speed of 40MB/s and a write speed of 25MB/s. Expect to see these new cards hit the stores sometime in the second half of this year.
