Rating: Summary: NOT COMPATABLE with Toshiba e310! Review: I just got off the line with Toshiba. Their Pocket PC's are NOT compatable with Sandisk SD cards. They work for a while, then die. I bought three at once and two are toast now. Toshiba knows about this and has yet to post a warning or contact owners of their otherwise excellent Pocket PC's. BEWARE!

Rating: Summary: San Disk Smart Media*** Review: I love San Disk Products! Their smart media cards are the best. They are very reliable and I have never received a faulty card. You can use them over and over... I like the 64MB size, it's perfect to take on trips and holds a nice amount of pictures. The price has really dropped in the last six months. I just purchased my fourth card. If your looking for smart media, stick with the brands you know and trust.
Rating: Summary: 64 MB SD CARD & THE MAGELLAN MERIDIAN PLATINUM GPS Review: I ordered a SanDisk SDSDB-64R 64 MB Secure Digital Card for $[money]. I used it in my Magellan Meridian Platinum GPS. I use a Zio SD Card Reader to load up to 64 MB of maps and points of interest data from Magellan's newest street mapping software (as of 5-21-02) USA Streets & Destinations. The SD card works like a charm. On a recent trip I loaded maps (with street level detail) covering an area from Richmond, VA to Boston, MA. That filled the 64MB SD card. If you have a Magellan Meridian Model GPS you DO NOT need to pay Magellan's high price for SD memory. Buy SanDisk, save some money and HAVE FUN GPSing!

Rating: Summary: "OK" PRODUCT-SLOW CUSTOMER SERVICE Review: I sent the 64 MB card to SD for a replacement due to a non operable card after a download using the SD 33-1 card reader.The wait on line for a warranty RA # was so long that I sent the defective card to the only address listed on the packaging. After three weeks I finally called and waited for ten minutes; the pleasent tech. rep. indicated that tracking the warranty request would be attempted, but difficult. I'll have to wait a little longer to see how this is resolved. Meanwhile I have purchased several other SD cards that seem to function fine. I guess the lesson learned; be carefull with the data loading via the Securemate card reader-take it easy- follow instruction carefully. Apparantly you can easily erase what must be internal drivers that affect the SD Card operation. I would charaterize the overall experience as a communicaton problem more than a quality issue.
Rating: Summary: Died after 4 months - Not the best support Review: I use this card to expand my PocketPC PDA to hold some songs for when I have some downtime.It worked great for four months, but then mysteriously began to insist it was read-only. After troubleshooting myself for an hour, I called SanDisk support. The hold time was only about five minutes, but the support guy couldn't speak english very well, and, like most support techs now, had no idea what he was talking about, obviously reading a checklist. He told me someone from warranty would contact me - a week later, I called back (after the hours mysteriously changed), and I had to insist to talk to a warranty person. I was given a reference number, and told to use that if they don't contact me within 24 hours. I don't like the system of you having to wait for them to e-mail or call you regarding their defective product - when you already have given them your address and phone number. I am still waiting them to contact me. I'm not planning to buy another SanDisk product.

Rating: Summary: Not a bad card Review: It is useful for large apps, etc. However, it does put a drain on your battery so if you were unfortunate to purchase an m505. This will add to your drain. However, I would still get the card. I use it since I have many apps.
Rating: Summary: Hard to find at this time but worth the wait... Review: Not out en mass yet so it was difficult to obtain one for my PDA (which is also new). Light, clearly a boost to memory space on my PDA, it is something you won't be able to do without if you have large programs that require lots of memory (for instance, I run a few large medically related programs on my PDA which have a huge memory burden). I was worried about backward compatibility since my PDA only recommended SD cards as large as 16 MB but it proved to be of no concern as the device I have recognizes the card and all of its memory space. Of course, expense is a concern but I'm sure that will come down in the near future as well since this media type is proving to become an industry standard. Get one! (unless you can wait for the 128 MB cards to show up).
