SD Cards Demand

[aximcases]

If you were to purchase a SD Card, what capacity would you buy? I am just trying to figure out what is the most demanded capacity these days 128mb, 256mb, 1gb?

How popular are SD WiFi Cards? What about SD 256mb + WiFi?

I would go for 1gb they have dropped so much in price.

Also i would highly recommend a good brand with a decent transfer rate.

my kingston blows away my pqi interms of quality, speed and most importantly reliablty

What do you consider a good brand with a decent transfer rate? What do you think are the top 3 brands on the memory cards market?

1gb with fast transfer rates.....like the Kingmax 60.

If you do not have built in WiFi I would recommend the SanDisk WiFi SD card without the 256 memory. I am enjoying surfing the web from hotspots and at home with a wireless router. Take the money you save and buy an additional 1gb card which you could use when you upgrade to a pda w/ WiFi built in.

No less than 512mb... 1gb if you can afford it.

[24va]

2gb even if you can't afford it.

Hi, shopping for 512Mb to 1 Gb here, doesn't make my mind yet, but it's a must they where 60x.
Right now I own a Verbatim 128Mb SD card on my Tungsten E, waiting for my axim X30H, hope it arrives this week.

SD Brands...
Toshiba
Kingmax

I bought the KingMax 1GB 60X card, and it works fine.

[warcow2004]

top 5 brands in order (opinion from my use)
1. Kingston
2. Lexar
3. Memorrax (sp?)
4. SanDisk
5. PQI (from what ppl have said)
I would buy at least a 256 mg card, But because you are a retailer, make sure you have either 64 or 128 megs for ppl that just need a memory boost for documents.

I would not buy lower than a 512Mb and would go for the 1Gb. The only smaller card than a 512Mb I would consider buying is a 64Mb to put backups and store to a safe place for security ( no need for a 512 for this). The top three brand I would buy are
Lexar, Kingston and Sandisk in that order.

None left.....

Followup Post:
It looks to me that the one on sale is NOT the 32x, even though the description of the product says so. I found the 32x on sale for $88 but apparently the rebate is NOT for the high speed one:

I have a kingston 512mb and a lexar 1gb. They both perform well and are excellent choices. Go with the 1gb if you can afford it.

Definitely 1 GB cards or higher. Preferred brands include:

Lexar
Kingston
Toshiba
Panasonic
Dane-Electric (I personally have not had any problems with them so far)

As for SD wifi cards, I believe the market for these is small since most PPCs with SDIO would already have built in wifi.
