as far as i know, the interfaces for SD, SDIO and MMC are 100%
proprietry, open source drivers for this kind of hardware (if you want
to use SDIO mainly) have been made but have had to be hidden away due to
legal issues. (im talking about using these things in stuff like a
zaurus here)

In my experience SD cards can very greatly in quality from one card to
the next, 

CF is cool :-) its quick, its cheap, and now, apparently it can give my
PDA more storeage than my laptop.

Also, as they are tiny, they are easier to loose :-)
