I been looking around and I came across this [ame="http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-SDSDQ-016G-A11M-Sandisk-16GB-Microsd/dp/B001F6YRNO/ref=pd_bbs_sr_7?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=12229250 06&sr=8-7"]http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-SDSDQ-016G-A11M-Sandisk-16GB-Microsd/dp/B001F6YRNO/ref=pd_bbs_sr_7?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=12229250 06&sr=8-7 [/ame]

One thing I've noticed its only a class 2. I'm not sure if the new cards are only going to be class 2 for now. Its for $109.99 plus shipping.

Class 2 seems to have 2MB/s transfer which could be slow but not necessarily. At the same time the price is about right what it was announced but still bit expensive

You should probably stick with an 8gb then wait a few months. By then, the price for 16gb should be nearly half that.

Well how much of a difference is the speed of the card going to make? Between a class 2 & 4. I'm sure a class 4 is twice as fast. At 2MB/s that shouldn't be slow at all. I guess if your recording video to the card it would. Beyond that would it make a difference? I don't have much experience with different speed cards does a faster card really show? At least for phone/media player uses?

yeah wait for the prices to drop a little, but check this 8gb!

Kingston has a 5 year warranty I believe, and makes great memory plus it's class 4.

quoted from that link you posted...and it is well beyond 5 years

All cards are 100-percent tested and are backed by a lifetime warranty

I saw that the other day but i don't completely trust it. Its not amazon selling it, its a marketplace seller, where you can easily list things you don't even have. I find it hard to believe that this one guy has it and nobody else does, including amazon themselves. Normally the marketplace for any memory card has a bunch of sellers pushing it.

yea, if i happen to fill an 8Gb class 4 -- i'll just get a second one of them for the time being... given that i can get (4) 8Gb's for the price of (1) 16Gb card... it doesnt make much sense to me

[i wouldnt be a huge fan of carrying extra cards around...but i could just keep music and movies on one...and worry about it when i want to watch/listen it shouldnt be a big deal]
