MMC is an open standard and universal interface specification that addresses market demands for higher performance in advanced portable consumer devices, including MP3/MP4 players, digital still cameras and small form-factor PCs, as well as mobile phones.

moviNAND can transfer mobile video and other multimedia data at speeds of up to 52 MB per second, allowing for much faster data storage and retrieval.

Samsung expects its sales to reach US$300 million this year and US$5.3 billion by 2008.
