Small electronics stores in NYC are the worst. They are always trying to rip you off and you have to haggle just to get it down to a price that is fair. And if the thing breaks good luck trying to return it. Morale is don't buy in small electronic stores in NYC.

For the record, a few months ago I bought an 8 Gig card for a "good price" in a "bulk package" from some company that sells via Amazon ... it died unexpectedly ... I thought it was under warranty so I attempted to get it replaced. Apparently the "bulk packaged" ones are not under warranty so the price was not so good after all. For some wacky reason yesterday I bought two Kingston 8 Gig class 4 cards in midtown Manhattan at a "Going Out of Business" sale from a small electronics store. (If you are not from NYC never do this unless you are willing to haggle or don't mind being ripped off). Thing is that I knew the price was OKish and it they were in the original blister pack. If you saw the movie Zohan you have an idea of what the transaction was like. i++ On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 2:57 AM, Muthu Ramadoss <[email protected]> wrote: Al, Good catch. It was "GB".. my bad.

They gave me a choice between a 4MB sandisk and kingston. I chose kingston and bought it for Rs.450 ($10). That's what we have here. No 8MB, no 16MB.. nothing. Either they are not here or out of stock. Guess sometimes its easier not to have too many choices :) take care, Muthu Ramadoss. http://linkedin.com/in/tellibitz +91-9840348914 http://androidrocks.in - Android Consulting.

I am confused by the various technology designations ... class 2-6, SD vs SDHC. Size vs reliability. Sweet spot cost-wise. I would choose the most reliable/fastest over the largest. I have searched for this info online, perhaps I just need search word help! i++ -- * Written an Android App? - List it at http://andappstore.com/ * ====== Funky Android Limited is registered in England & Wales with the company number 6741909.
