retail stores only make it worse on average customers by leaving this crap next to our goodies. I prefer my highspeed 4GB SD for $20, if A-data wants to make this appealing: at least include built-in USB.
It's bad enough that I have to buy incompatible proprietary formats, now I get to do the same with universal.
next people will think they have to get a USB card reader to use there camera's SD cards on their EeePC.

On the packaging for the SDHC Card: "The 2nd HDD for your eee PC."
The only thing right about that sentence is the fact that it is second. I mean, the Eee is flash-based, right?

Yeah... and this has been done with the Wii too. There are Wii-themed SD cards that specifically say compatible with the Wii.
Ignorance is bliss... and no matter how stupid you are, your cash is still green.

Completely agree with that. I got mine for under half the price of the 1GB "Wii" card from Game... and mine was a 2GB
