No point in sticking it inside my coolpix  Which probably doesn't even support sdhc's.

There is a rather long thread on this subject at Brighthand's forum, there is at least one poster there reporting this problem with SD cards, also if you check out the HP forums this has been reported there as well.
Brighthand has one poster suggesting that with a CF GPS in their iPaq that power is not disabled to the CF slot.
Based on the Wi-Fi update there is some suggestion that unlike in the past there may be a *real* software difference between the 210 and the 211. That software difference may explain why some CF cards appear to work ok in some iPaqs and show the power drain in other iPaqs. The new Transcend 32 GB CF card has both been reported as not causing problems and as causing a problem. If some iPaqs are not programed to power down the CF slot when off, or because of a hardware failure can't shut off power to the CF slot that could explain much.
