Oh Great! Now all those new ipaq users can get cheap memory, while us axim users have to stick to CF to get anything that big.

Heh ... with my hx2495b I can do either (just like with the X50).

I have a question and I know there are other's with the same question.

Why is this card so inexpensive in comparison to other SDHC cards with similar specifications?

How much does raw flash memory cost and how much does it cost to incorporate it into a CF Card or an SDHC card.

Forgive me ladies and Gentlemen. But I'm feeling a little skeptical about this card's price. You see I have been burned by low-cost cards before; specifically Dane-elec very slow read/write speeds; disappearing data and data corruption.

Can someone here show me the light.

I don't mind that much, because it'll be used to store music from file server, that data corruption is not a big deal
will use on HP 211 and Asus 626

cf and sd prices are dropping all the time. Also brand name matters. Sandis k for example are more pricier. Transcend, highly recommended by myself, and a-data make the cheaper cards.
