MMC or SD? Which is better?
MMC is better, for the following reasons
a. SD on the Z doesn't use the full 4 bit data path so MMC is the same speed as SD. b. MMC is cheaper than SD c. SD has DRM built in d. The module that allows you to access SD is non-free because of SD using DRM, this means you will be stuck on kernel 2.4.6 forever if you use SD if you get MMC then there is a chance/possibility it will work with later kernels.
