We've had many disucssions here on the speed of different SD cards and even went as far as posting Pocket Mechnaic benchmarks. PDA Buyers Guide has a review of the Kingston Elite Pro High Speed SD card. After reading the article, I am very impressed with the speed increase and I know now, my next SD card will be one of these..(Unless, I find a great bargain ) These cards are MUCH faster than standard SD cards, and use Single Level Cell Technology (SLC). Kingston claims that both read and write speeds are significantly faster (write: 1.5 megs/sec. vs. 5 megs/sec, read: 2 megs/sec vs. 10 megs/sec). I've not only benchmarked the card using VFSMark on Palm OS and seen how fast this card is (it attains a VFSMark of 651), but experientially it's hugely faster than a regular SD card too. I tested it in a Sharp Zaurus C860 for movie playback, which is probably the best test of card speeds in a PDA. Using 3 different video players, I saw no discernable dropped frames and got perfect audio/video sync when playing movies encoded at 300k bit rates. Using standard SD cards, as Zaurus users know, movies do not play smoothly and audio often falls out of sync. I tested the card in a Toshiba e805 Pocket PC and was similarly impressed.

So does anyone know if these cards will be released in a bigger capacity it appears that presently only 128meg and 256meg are available (probably due to larger market share thingie/stuff).
I want it big and give to me fast, (in my best porno voice). Memory! that is.
I really like the SD card format (as it fits in me Ipaq, 8) without the need for a bulky expansion sleeve ).
But it appears that the desktops don't seem to have the same compatibility with SD (more desktops require driver installation) than for CF (seems in my experience to be more truly plug n play).
Aaarrr but I digress :? .......
