Darn, I just bought their 8gb sdhc card, oh well.
I'm soon to buy a Cowon D2 4gb but am gunna get an 8gb card anyway. On ebay they're around 60 and the last time i checked the 16gb are around 180. You do the math.
Ahh!! I want the cowan d2 too! I looked around and it's amazing. (I.E. accepts .avi files!)
The D2 is really nice, it's too bad more PMPs didn't follow suit and use SD(HC) expansion, just one more thing to love about Cowon. Does your battery last an insanely long time? I listen to mine constantly and the only charging it ever gets is when I plug it in to the computer to transfer music, but that's worked pretty well; I'm about to have to charge it for the first time since August!

Amazing how far we've come with respect to capacity.
Awesome. Now if Nintendo would update the Wii to support SDHC, and allow us to run VC games off of the card....
Or if Nintendo can just do what they did with the N64, all the saving was on the games; not a card. I would love to have that option again

Damn optical media, I want cartridges.
The wipe on the sleeve has nothing on blowing along the connectors.
Makes a perfect companion for the EEE PC
I don't know about you but many people CAN download at 6Mb/s, including me.
Now if you meant 6 MB / second (as posted for the R/W speed of this well that's a little different, but judging that you probably only posted to spam your worthless garbage pile of a website, I doubt you really care if you got the correct measurment in there.
Kudos to you sir.
16 GB / 6 MB/s = almost 45 minutes to fill the thing up!
Yup, would be great to use it for the Eee pc. Could fill it up with more songs, movies, games etc. I'm sold!
I don't know about this... Flash is all good and well if you need something super thin and light, but its slow and expensive compared to hard drives. And how many super thin and light gadgets are going to have all the extra space that an SD card takes up?

I sure wish Apple would implement SDHC card slots for all their devices. If they come out with that subnotebook minus an optical drive, an SDHC slot sure would come in handy.
I've been using a Sonnet SDHC adapter in my MacBook Pro along with a Kingston 8GB SDHC card ($75). I'm able to put movie files on the card and play it off that without using the hard drive to get longer battery life.
As soon as the price comes down, I'll replace it with the 16GB card.
Please remember that some of the SDHC cards that you purchase from EBAY are either fakes or manufacture rejects. Example is that they may be passed on as 16Gb SDAC but after using it a few times, the capacity falls down to 8Gb or does not work at all. Hope this helps. God Bless.
I actually have the Patriot card people are mentioning which I bought to use with my eee pc.
