Pretec 2 GB MMC 4 card

“At Computex Taipei Pretec demonstrated a new 2 GB card which conforms to the new MMC 4 standard and which Pretec are calling the ‘World’s Fastest Flash Memory Card’. Thanks to the fact that MMC 4 allows for transfer of 4-bits of data in parallel this new card has a quoted write speed of around 18 MB/sec (120X) and a read speed of around 22.5 MB/sec (150X). If verified this card would indeed be far faster than any current flash memory card. The new card is also backwardly compatible with standard SD / MMC devices.”
