Well, they're a notoriously unstable type of storage media. More prone to failure by exposure to changes in temperature and humidity than just about any other type. If you get fingerprints on the gold contact areas, you can ruin the card, or at the very least need to format it again to get it to work.
Plus, they're made in two voltages! 3.0v and 3.3v. wtf? I've
wasted a lot of money on SmartMedia and I've got a lot of dud cards now. Luckily my Olympus takes the same CF (CompactFlash) cards (as well as SmartMedia) as my Canon IXUS, so I just use those now. Much more hardy.
Just my $0.02
