I eventually found a summary at:
http://www.zauruszone.farplanet.net/wiki/index.php?MMC%20or%20SD%20card

Reading around SD is supported in openzaurus using the sharp binary
module so it will do for the moment...I would get MMC but at the
moment they only seem to go up to 128MB and I hate being cramped for
space.  Argh decisions, decisions

I guess but sometimes I might want to listen to music and war walk at
the same time!

Anyway ordered the zaurus with a small CF card and will decide soon
(honest) whether to get an SD or MMC card.  Also realised that I'd
like a USB adapter for whichever I get so that I can access the stuff
on my desktop.

looks like a good place to get all this sort of stuff.
