Summary: More is better
Review: 16 is ok, 32 is better, 64 will let you sleep night, but 128 is where it's at for Secure Digital. If you are buying an SD card for your Palm, trust me and get the biggest you can afford. it's SOO nice to back things up and still have room for a few ebooks.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Holds the data--slow to retrieve
Review: 64mb Sandisk will sure hold the data, but if you need speed to access the data--this will not give it to you. It takes a few seconds to 1)access the card, then 2)to pull up information from the program you desire. Example:I have a informational book on my SD card, a fellow co-worker has the text version. A question is posed to myself and my co-worker.....my co-worker ultimately accessed the information faster than I could with my palm m500
+ 64mb SD card. My technology was then the brunt of many jokes....what could I say? Of note: the launcher III 3rd party application will speed the access of the card up by ~2seconds, but information retrieval is still embarassingly slow.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Concerning Access Speeds
Review: Admittedly, I have a Panasonic SD card but what I have to say is relevant to all SD cards. My card is 16MB and has about 3 or 4MB of photos on it. When I use Photo Suite to access these files on my Palm M505 it takes 15 seconds to list all the photos on them. Also, video playback is slow but watchable. (On an MMC card video playback is VERY slow.) Once they are listed though it only takes a second or two to view the picture. If the other reviewers are correct in what they are saying then indeed it would seem access times are greater for this SD card. Then again one has to take into consideration what PDA they have. My Palm M505 is a toroise compared to pocket PCs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Endless memory in a little card
Review: Bought the card for my m500 and it's been very reliable. I'm in the medical field and the need for memory is exorbitant, but 64MB is probably more than necessary (32 MB would have sufficed). However, I decided to get one expensive card than to have to buy another card 3 years from now. Palm makes it difficult to use the card, and programs stored on the card that is accessed from the handheld is very slow to load. You will have to go to the palm.com website to obtain more information from the community boards on how to do this, but to reassure m500 novices, this card can hold a lot of medical books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Durability for sure
Review: First off, this card is great. Its small, sturdy, and delivers the space it said it would.

Second, the price is excellent.

Third, the nature of these cards is *much* slower than your handheld.

My motivations were to expand my Palm 505 and be able to hold plenty of documents and web data on my Palm. The problem I had was the Palm didn't want to use all that space. The Palm OS VFS works rather like a fair hack. I had to find software (MSMount and a new browser LauncherX -- the latter is a shareware product) to actually mount the apps and data on the remote drive as well as Filez which allows you to perform file system operations on the card.

After all this, my 505 works great with all the extra space.

Summary: Great for PDAs
Review: I bought this card for use with my new Sharp Zaurus SL-5000D PDA and was able to use it to move files from my PC to my PDA without a hitch. SanDisk makes great products in general; always great quality and easy to use.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Be careful with the card
Review: I bught one of these cards for my PDA and found the locking mechanism did not work. Tried a second and same problem. Finally found a third which worked. However, after using the PDA with the card after several days, the PDA began to mal-function. Finally I had to replace the PDA probably due to the card. With the new PDA I did buy a card but this time directly from the manufacturer of the PDA

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Durability for sure
Review: I dropped my PDA and the MMC card popped out. Realized it was gone hours later, went back, found it. It had been run over by a truck or forklift, judging from the scratches. Popped it back in, it worked fine. I'd call that durable, wouldn't you?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Memory card
