My understanding has always been that MMC/SD is the much simpler
system, i.e. these devices should theoretically be cheaper in
Bytes/Buck.  CF has traditionally been more widespread and therefore
prices were better.  In recent months, the price difference between CF
and SD has dramatically reduced (when I stated looking SD was about
twice the price of CF).  My understanding is that the cheap digital
cameras all have SD (to avoid the complexer CF logic on board) so
eventually SD will be cheaper than CV.

CF has a larger form factor -- so there will always be larger CF
cards than SD cards..

The nasty patents on SD have already been discussed, so we'll leave it
at that...
