    16GB microSD!!

    Finally!

    Looks like they are coming soon. MobyMemory is taking pre-orders for October. I'm not going to place an order yet, better waiting until they are in stock i think.

    £45 seems pretty good too.

    They're £47.95 delivered from My Memory There's no indication whether they've got 'em in stock though?

    But I agree on the availability of such high capacity cards - and competitive prices now.
    That same store sells 32GB SDHC Class 4 SD cards for 'just' £65.55

    Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder

    I know! This will be going straight into my Kaiser when they are released. I've been waiting for these for months

    MobyMemory are saying they are being released in October, so I doubt MyMemory has them. MobyMemory also has free delivery for orders over £40

    I got 2 x 8gb ones from here http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0019MKRUG

    Shipping stays the same at £1.99 (for me), if you don't mind swapping them out

    Re: 16GB microSD!!

    Well I ordered one of these yesterday (thursday) afternoon and got it this morning at about 09:00 when the postie arrived.

    Ordered from MobyMemory as linked above, so they definitely do have stock, and quite a bit earlier than they initially said too.

    Ended up ordering a spare Sandisk 4GB Extreme IV CompactFlash card for my SLR while I was at it. Crazy that the 16GB car was only £3 more than the 4GB! Granted the microSD doesn't do 40MB/sec

    Are you saying you paid £42 for a Scandisk 4gb EIII or did you mean EIV?

    Re: 16GB microSD!!

    No idea. But the Class 4 SanDisk microSD cards aren't exactly speedy (wait for a Class 6 16GB in the next few months), so I doubt the adapter would slow it down much. Anyway, if you are just using it for music etc. then speed isn't going to be an issue.
