seems lke they buy used gear.. maybe these cards are overstock...

Have you guys checked my post "The Mall" area lately?

A quick look at pricewatch.com found many offers at around $100.. http://store.yahoo.com/digi4me/pr1gbmumecap.html and a couplon for free shipping gets it to you for $103. (free ground coupon p0399, $3.99 off). This company shows 95% positive feedback out of 65 feedbacks... and there are others listed at Pricewatch.

If you want Sandisk, it looks like Brian is within a few GWs of the best price over at pricewatch.

Dang... at these prices I might be in the market for a 1GB sooner than I thought!

Maybe this has been covered before and I am being redundant, but some of the cards mentioned here are MMC, not SD. Slower, less durable packaging, etc... FYI

If I upgrade my SD card to a larger size, can I just copy all of the data from one card to another and have everything (including installed programs) work without a hitch?

Yes

I ordered one from Brian... going to give it a try.

Any one have any problems when buying realy cheap SD cards that are generic or non name brands?

I know that there can be speed differences in flash memory cards, so that's my rationale for buying a Sandisk instead of generic. I used to work in the engineering department of memory chip manufacturing division of my employer. The chips would start out the same, and then get sorted by how they passed speed tests and such. So, it stands to reason that the generic (i.e., cheaper) memory chips would potentially be slower. I've bought generic in the past and had no problems, but with a 1GB card... well, I'd rather not take any chances to save a few bucks. Probably my theory is all wet...

I have seen a I gb sandisk card from $189 al the way up to $259+. How do I know that the cheaper card is the same as the more costly card. IE, is one compnay selling used copies, irrlegular copies..etc?

That is why you want to deal with a place that has a good reputation. We would rather spend more and get good products

I received mine from eCost, $138. It's a SanDisk and works fine.

I don't think you are likely go get generic memory that doesn't work at all, but you very well may get slower memory. Case in point, I've built some of my own PCs over the years, and in some cases I've done overclocking and tuning. In that case, there were big differences in memory performance between the cheap stuff and the expensive stuff. That "could" be the case here.

$122 for a 1GB seems like a typo but its not. I wish I hadn't just bought a 512 or I would buy one too.

I would agree with you if you were right, but the Palm OS is crap.

What about this one:1GB SD for $70 (AR). Sure, this implies that you're ready to deal with the rebate hassle.
