Difference between the XD type m and Type H?

[trevoristight]

I wanted to know the difference between the two, and I wanted to know if it mattered if the card said olympus of Fuji on the front?

I'm going to get the 1GB for the Fuji F30.

The type M I can get for $40 and type H for $50 compared to the SD at $25 so I don't think its that big of a deal, but is the H better, or is there a difference.

H = the hi-speed cards

Hi-Speed xD-Picture Card (Type H)
In addition to outstanding reliability and storage capacity, the Type H card provides improved write speeds (up to 2x to 3x faster than previous xD cards) so photos and QuickTime® movies will be saved and formatted to the card quicker, meaning less time to wait between shots.

Standard xD-Picture Card (Type M)

The Type M xD-Picture Card keeps your photo, movie and other files safe and sound so you can enjoy them any way you want (viewing, sharing, slideshows, etc.) and any time. The compact size lets you carry it anywhere and because it’s compatible with many reader/writers, you can download data to a computer or another device in a jiffy.

I don't know about Fuji, but Olympus branded cards tend to activate extra features in Olympus cameras and software.
