Personally, I always make sure to turn on the Axim a few seconds before removing a card and then leave it on a few seconds afterwards, to make sure that there are no pending I/Os that will be interrupted and to allow it to recognize that the card is gone and shut down the driver for that device in an orderly fashion. I do that for both memory and I/O devices. I think people have scrambled their memory cards by removing them while they're in an inconsistent state (i.e., before the device has finished writing to the file system), and I know I've had to do soft and hard resets when I insert a different card before the device has completely processed the removal of the previous card.
