What do you know about Integral or Dane-Elec SD 256Mb cards?

Hi.

Yet another Sandisk 256 SD Mb card (bought at Dell, and they are still selling these!!!!) not working on an Axim here...

I have narrowed down trying a new 256 Md SD to:

- SimpleTech SD 256Mb
- Integral SD 256Mb
- Dane-Elec SD 256Mb

I know the first one works flawelessly but have run a search on the second and third brand and have not been able to come up with much info for them. Have any of you had problems with these last two? All I know is that they are cheaper than the SimpleTech.

Thank you.

I purchased a 256 MB Dane-Elec SD card when I got my Axim. I was told the Dane-Elec is an OEM for Panasonic. I recently purchased a 512 MB Panasonic card, which is 8x faster than my Dane-Elec card. If I knew where I could find a faster 256MB card, I'd go buy one and throw the Dane-Elec card in the trash.

Wow so many people having issues with the SanDisk 256 SD? I just got mine a week ago and I haven't had one problem with it. I didn't buy it off Dell though. I bought mine from Ebay new. When do the problems occur? I've been using mine to store / play MP3s and I haven't had one hiccup yet.
