I'm so in, sweet.

Will this work with a Mac?

Does IT work on the SideKICK 3??
the phone does come with a factory 64mb mini SD by Sandisk
the sd card is really small compared to the 2gb sd card that I bought off woot on 2/27/08 and it wont fit my sidekick will this one Fit?

It's stupid cheap, I'm in for 3. G-nite

2gb for $10.99 shipped http://www.meritline.com/pqi-2gb-micro-sd-card.html

I only have one gadget this will fit into - my Verizon mobile phone, but since they did such a good job of locking down the bluetooth and other functions, I don't even need the 1gb MicroSD card I already bought for the phone. Good price, though. Really good price, although I don't know jack about this specific brand.

Yep, I understand that... but 3 with the google checkout will be less... btw mine does say made in Japan on it...

Usually, for everyday use, all flash memories perform the same because there are not a lot of flash memory manufacturer out there.
If you open some SD cards, you will often find Samsung memory chip inside for example, even in "unknown" brands.

What can change from brand to brand is the flash memory controller that provides the interface between the flash memory and the SD host. This means that error corrections might be better in some brand than in others for instance, but I'm sure it will not be noticeable in most cases.

What vary greatly is speed. A SanDisk Extreme III SD card is and will always be faster than a $5 SD card. But in a lot of uses you don't need speed...

So... I'd say that this card is probably just fine, if you don't need a crazy speed.

Example here. You can clearly see the controller (the small chip) and the main flash memory chip.
Another example here (this looks like a Hynix flash memory in a fake SanDisk card - SanDisk would use their own flash chips !)
And here is an interesting one.

In for three. Great for my cell phone.

I lost my spaghetti. =( hiss. I just bought one off NewEgg for about $15 (after shipping and tax). Though they're just a city away and I did get it the very next day with standard shipping after having order it at 3 in the afternoon, so it was worth it. Hmm... could always use another though...

Grabbing 3 for my R4DS ...

The sidekick 3 uses microsd (I think) which is what this is. Mini sd is more square. Sandisk labels theres as transflash.

I've had a couple Dane-Elec USB thumb drives (2 GB and 4GB) for a year or so now. They've been very heavily used and have never failed mechanically or via corrupted data, etc.

More than I can say for my PQI 8GB.

So Dane-Elec is fine by me.

As cheapie back ups, they're ok. I don't see the harm in blowing about $25 on them and stashing them away

$10 each - free shipping...

Woot's deal is worth it if you get more than 1.

2 cards - 17.98
3 cards - 24.47

do they work in motorola razr's??

good to know thanks for the info

60X speed is around 9 to 10 megabytes a second.

I just bought one of these! Curse you woot! Bluetooth headsets next, come on, please.

Also microsd CAN work in a miniSD slot with an adaptor (Not the one this comes with though.

Please post links then, I'd be interested to compare prices and functionality.

Amazon has the 2gb kingstons for $11.99
In my experience, they are extremely good and fast (no lag/crashes in nintendo DS flash carts)
The woot one's a deal if you buy more than one.

Anyone else's order stuck in processing? Mine is acting like this is a Blushing Over Compliments...

(edit: Nevermind, got the order confirmation)

Same. They'll find use somewhere.

?? anyone know?

this woulda been cool like a year ago. 2gb micro is old technology... blahhh

The card and adapter are both very tempting...I might be sold if I could get a good look at the jewel case that they come in!!! Is it pink and sparkly? Ok fine, in for one...just cause I'm curious though

Do these work with any BlackBerrys?

first thing I bought 3 of!!

phone
sansa
wii

In for 3!

what speed is 60x?

Hashpot this won't fit in your sidekick 3, minisd is slightly larger than microsd/transflash and will not work unless you have an adapter. Some microsd cards come with both mini and sd adapters, this appears not to.

got me one for me and one for my friend....and i need lots of space for all the movies and cabs that constantly upload to my phone

or you could also get the Crucial 2gb card - well known and proven brand

After google checkout its only 99 cents...

I'm waiting on my Kingston 2GB micro from buy.com - it came with both mini and regular adapters plus a USB reader, for $14.95 shipped. Definitely a better deal if you only want 1 card because of the versatility, but this is also a great buy if you pickup 3.

Dammit... I hate when something cheap like this comes out. There is someone that has to say it's cheaper at buy.com if you use Google checkout for the 1st time.

I would think that a person will use the $10 discount on something more expensive than a cheep memory card.

Plus this is a great bargain if you buy 3.

Edit: I meant at least 25+ people not someone like I mentioned above.

In for 3. About time I bought something.

yes!

i got a 1GB im using now, might upgrade ;)

$24.47 for 3 of these shipped is a great deal for me considering I actually was actually searching some other sites for memory cards before stopping by here. Hell yea

Maybe so, but if you only want one, then you are golden as well... just trying to help, but whatever... g-nite. Also, if anyone wants to know, this works in a t-mobile dash/ HTC excalibur...

That's pretty much what I thought. And if you know kids that need mem cards for their games, they can be used for that as well (better than getting scammed in the store to buy 1GB for $15 - $20 sometimes)

This is definitely a GREAT DEAL!!!
Cheapest I've seen a 2GB microSD card anywhere was at Costco for $24.99

GOOD GOING WOOT!! THANKS FOR THE GREAT DEAL!!
I'M IN FOR 3!!
