I have found some SD devices (OK more than some) don't support them?
None of us would know yet for sure but Craig might know?

2 gb card are becoming cheaper by the day, 4gb cards are around $300. 1gb cards are easily the best value though.

If you're on several cards, you only use a portion of what you had if you didn't backup; on one card, you lose the lot.

Of course, using the NAND flash for saves would effectively remove this problem, but only if the saves were all small enough to fit .

I left it in my Digicam while it was on and the batteries were dying which they did before it could retract the lense and shut off safely, not it just completly fails to work. My camera can't reformat it, and when I use my card reader it wont even show up on the 'my computer' window. I just got permission by email yesterday, so I'm actually about to send it back to Sandisk for a replacement.
