I've got mine yesterday so I cannot say much at this time. It is very fast as advertised, but it is also very thin. It still fits into card readers and the sd slot, but you worry about breaking it. It also takes more thought and effort to insert it into readers due to its thin form.

I actually returned my Kingmax sd card. I travel alot and it was too unreliable to trust. I kept getting reformat message. I think it is too thin to maintain contact.

Well, I got the Platinum 1GB 60x card...and its given me nothing but trouble. I format it...it works..then I leave my Axim off for 2 hours..and when i turn it on again it asks me whether I want to format the card.

Its been driving me nuts. I can't even return it now :(
I wouldn't recommend it.

I've been using a KingMax 1GB ultra for the past few weeks with no problems. It's a bit thinner than other SD cards but it still fits snugly. Maybe it's hit or miss like some of the other cards?
