least December. That was too long and too uncertain for me and I went
out and bought a 700P today and signed up with Sprint. I can't vouch
for how accurate this is, though. As far as the 4GB card, I just
ordered an ADATA 4GB card from Newegg.com today so hopefully it will get
here by Saturday or Monday. But I know how you feel about wanting the
8GB card soon. The 1GB card in my 650 served perfectly fine, but
probably because I didn't bother putting much on it other than GPS maps
and programs. With 4GB, I'm starting to see that this might be useful
as a replacement in a lot of ways for my Video iPod. Still 4GB is a lot
less than 60GB, but I can still fit all my audio and even video (when I
don't have too bad of a backload) podcasts on a 4GB. Having 8GB would
mean a little extra room for additional video. 16GB would allow me to
also put a good chunk of music on it, 32GB would mean almost enough
space for all my audio and video that I have on my iPod, 64GB would be a
little more flexible, and 128MB would do the trick for a good while.
256GB might allow me to put my entire DVD collection, and 512GB would
pretty much let me put every piece of content that I have, be it ripped
audio, video, pictures, documents, etc. Then again, at a certain point
I start wondering how much of this needs to be on the phone itself and
how much can just be streamed, now that higher speeds are possible?
There's a software program which interfaces with your iTunes and lets
you retrieve feeds representing your playlists, but blazer doesn't seem
to support RSS, but they are working on a new version which will create
M3U files, which Ptunes should be able to handle no problem. Then of
course, I've heard some people have had some success with Orb, and while
Slingbox isn't something that's supported yet, I'm sure it will be. So
you could always keep all your content at home and just stream it to
your device. Maybe you could also have a smaller subset of stuff so
that when your phone goes out of range, you can still listen or watch,
but I think the demand for really huge cards will start to go down as
network speeds increase and the coverage areas for these do as well...
