Agian???
Just can't understand why you are referring to one as an apple and another as an orange? They are used for different units (MMC/SD for the m50x, MS/MG for the Clie). The usual reason why m50x users use SD is because they say it's 4x faster. For Clie users, they use MS since most don't need the MG's ATRAC3 format. Besides, what is the percentage of m50x and Clie users using SD/MG for "copyright protection" -- what is there to secure?

RE: MMC
I agree with the copyright protection statement: "Besides, what is the percentage of m50x and Clie users using SD/MG for "copyright protection" -- what is there to secure?" I didn't know that the SD was that much faster that the MMC, I only have an SD for my Palm, is the MSGate faster than the Memory Stick?
RE: MMC
In terms of SD/MMC, SD is a little faster and offers that copyright protection.
RE: MMC
Everything that I have read indicates that current SD cards have the same transfer rate (speed) as the current MMC. However, I will concede that manufacturers have been very vague about the specs. It is my understanding that future SD cards will be faster than MMC (up to 4x) but are not currently. Thus the current SD cards, as far as I can tell have to drawbacks, (1) they are more expensive than the MMC cards without any performance benefit (or a very small one) and (2) some of the memory you pay for is taken up by the built-in measures to protect copyrighted material. Just like the MSGate Memory Sticks.
Consequently, until the SDs on the market are much faster than the MMCs, I am sticking to the MMC.
YMMV.
BTW, if anyone can actually point to a source that provides a definitive answer to the transfer rate of current SD cards as compared to MMC please post it. I would love to have this question answered once and for all (or at least until the technology changes).
