There's probably nothing wrong, but let's have some more details. How big is your SD card and what brand is it? 256 MB and 512 MB cards are 5x faster than 128 MB or less cards.

Also, does the Viewsonic do what the iPAQ 3800s did and run in MMC compatibility mode? This is 4x slower than full SD speed, I believe.

While speeds have gotten alot better in the SD world recently, the media is still slow as compared to CF.

Yeah, well, ok, CF is faster, but 4MB in 4 minutes, that's way too slow, even for SD!

This problem is identical to the one I'm experiencing with the new Medion PocketPC I'm reviewing: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6400

MMC seems a little bit faster than SD.

a 12 MB install took 11 minutes to install plus 9 minutes when transferred to the device.

Runnig from the SD-card is just as fast as on my Casio E200.

:(

It's taking forever to transfer some mp3's via WMP. My card reader should be here later this week!

Sounds like an iPaq 38xx-like problem: 1-bit transfer makes our units really slow as well. My Casio Exilim camera is blazingly fast, in comparison, with the exact same SD card.
