Actually, MMCplus is a completely different standard and is similar to MMC only in very general appearance. Since it has double the number of pins, in two rows, it would be quite hard to mistake it for an MMC.

Also, MMCplus comes in 1GB capacity too, isn't backwards compatible and is still pretty rare.
So, while it's completely possible the 2GB card from the original post is an MMCplus card, it isn't very probable.

PS: Just as a side note, there are 2GB MMC's (not SD's nor MMCplus') too, but they are relatively rare and require MMC 3.0+ compliant readers.
