The multimediacard system is a new mass-storage system based on innovations in semiconductor technology. It has been developed to provide an inexpensive, mechanically robust storage medium in card form for multimedia consumer
Applications. Multimedia card allows the design of inexpensive players and drives without moving parts. A low power consumption and a wide supply voltage range favors mobile, battery-powered applications such as audio players, organizers, palmtops, electronic books, encyclopedia and dictionaries. Using very effective data compression schemes such as mpeg, the multimedia card will deliver enough capacity for all kinds of multimedia data : Software / programs, text, music, speech, images, video etc.
