Looking for a memory card to increase your Pocket PC's capacity? How does <a href="http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10275316&loc=101&sp=1">$7.99 for a 128MB CF card</a> or <a href="http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10321130&loc=101&sp=1">$10.99 for a SD card</a> sound to you? Those are the prices Buy.com is advertising after rebate. Not bad! 8)

*groan* Seeing those prices makes me sick -

- since I live in Europe. If we could get 128 mb SD's for 9 euro, I'd buy 10 right away. But the cheapest card I can find would be a Dane-elec for 35 euro. That's three times as expensive. I really, really wish we'd get lower prices once in a while. We don't even *have* rebates in europe for crying out loud.

Man! I remember buying my first ever 128mb SD card for $349.00 CDN what a crime. I wish I could buy forward and pick up a 10 gig SD card today for like $10.00. :D

Great catch!


ONE PER HOUSEHOLD! :evil: I guess I'll have to have my mother-in-law order one and pay her back. 8)

I'm looking for a replacement for my Viking 128MB because I keep getting read errors from my iPaq 36xx. At this price I'm tempted to try another Viking. Has anyone else had similar problems with Viking?

I have had nothing but success from the Viking cards that I have - absolutely no problems. :way to go:

PNY, on the other hand, well - I have returned two for replacement and now have only music - no important data - on them. :cry:

Is it a SD? 36xx had a 1 bit SD port so the errors may originate from there.

True but on the flip side, you have all the cool phones, XDA III, we are just getting XDA, you have all the cool cars and wide screen TV's - we got cheap memory not a great trade off.

Actually the 36xx doesn't have any memory slots, unless Little2 has a cf expansion pack. So he's probably on about the Viking 128MB CF card.

The 38xx have a 1 bit SD port for memory cards only.
The 39xx and later have 4 bit SDIO ports for memory and expansion cards.

Ah, you are very right, very bad mistake on my part. :oops:
