=== RS-MMC ===

In 2004, the '''Reduced-Size MultiMediaCard''' ('''RS-MMC''') was introduced as a smaller form factor of the MMC, with about half the size: 24&nbsp;mm&nbsp;× 18&nbsp;mm&nbsp;× 1.4&nbsp;mm. The RS-MMC uses a simple mechanical adapter to elongate the card so it can be used in any MMC (or SD) slot. RS-MMCs are currently available in sizes up to and including 2&nbsp;GB.

The modern continuation of an RS-MMC is commonly known as '''MiniDrive''' ('''MD-MMC'''). A MiniDrive is generally a [[microSD]] card adapter in the RS-MMC form factor. This allows a user to take advantage of the wider range of modern MMCs available<ref>TheMiniDrive.com, http://www.TheMiniDrive.com.

Implementations of RS-MMCs include [[Nokia]] and [[Siemens cellular telephones|Siemens]], who used RS-MMC in their [[Series 60]] [[Symbian]] [[smartphone]]s, the [[Nokia 770 Internet Tablet]], and generations 65 and 75 (Siemens). However, since 2006, all of Nokia's new devices with card slots have used [[miniSD]] or [[microSD]] cards, with the company dropping support for the MMC standard in its products. While Siemens exited the mobile phone business completely in 2006, the company continues to use MMC for some [[Programmable logic controller|PLC]] storage leveraging MD-MMC advances.
