But, if you want to be safer, you can always go with 2gb cards which are more mainstream.

I have 2gb cards but need more space since I use my Axim for listening to music, podcasts and navigation. I bought a 4gb non hc sd card 18 months ago called "CN Memory SD Micro 4GB Gold". It started to physically fall apart. Unfortunately part of it jammed the sd card slot of my camera before I realized what was happening and quit using it. It ended up costing me a bundle to fix the camera. The company that distributes the card sent a form letter back to me saying they would get in touch and never did. So I'm leery about off brands especially if a significant number of people have had problems with them.
Thanks for the technical info on how tricky it can be formatting these kind of sd cards. I have a recent Dell laptop and it's card reader started giving error messages but my cheap little usb card reader reads the cards just fine. I'm just trying to continue using the Axim but would enjoy having more songs, podcasts already on it without fooling with extra cards. It's easier keeping track of the podcasts if they are all on one card too.
By the way Julie you mention Scandisk 4gb , I guess thats a Sandisk? And is it non hc?
