Suspiciously cheap 4gb CF card.
Found one of these for about £112 inc delivery (UK).

http://www.onlinememory.co.uk/index....odu cts_id=60

Seems a bit too cheap compared with everywhere else, and running it through Pricerunner revealed there's a question mark over one of their "customer" reviews

http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/computi.../217405/prices

Anyone had any experience dealing with them? I googled them in both web and groups and there seems a fair few signs that they're legit but I'm a bit cautious.

Thing is, I'd really like a 4gb card of some description for my hp4700, but I'm not prepared to pay £200 or so for a card. I was going to plump for a Hitachi Microdrive but the way they allegedly slow the whole thing down in boot up puts me off.....or is the boot up issue exaggerated?

Cheers

For some reason, memory prices seem to be cheaper in the UK right now. I just purchased a 2gb Sandisk SD card brand new in the box from a private individual for $80 plus shipping. That is way below what the same one is selling in the US even when all of the rebates are included.

Prices for memory are running lower and lower in England.
From the site that I buy all of my comptuer parts from (Dabs.com) they have it listed cheaper (allbeit by £1)
Sandisk 4GB Compact Flash

Also, the one up is on £20 more
Sandisk 4GB Compact Flash Ultra 2

Whether your PDA can support it I am not sure the compatability with CF cards.
