256MB SD for $79.99
SD is finally starting to become cheaper. Note that the price is with a $30 mail-in rebate; still, it's a great deal for those of you looking to make use of your SD slots.
Anyone else have good deal on SD memory? I'm looking to buy a 512MB card, but they're still not cheap. 8O Hopefully these deals will start driving prices down...

Buyers Beware!!!
I wouldn't take these if they gave them to me.
Had too many problems with this product from this manufacturer before (multiple times).
Compaq (HP) doesn't even recognize or recommend their product.
:roll:

Hmm, were/are you using a 3800 series iPaq? They tend to have relatively flaky SD slots... I should know, I own one

Beware of ecost
I got my pocket pc from ecost. I was so happy because I was gonna save like 50$. If I remember correctly, the handling charge was close to 40$ Be careful if you order from there.

Uhhh...no apparently I am missing something. Must be that math coprocessor. My bad.
RE:Flaky SD. I too had the same issue on a 3875. Seems to work without issue on my 3975.

That's where I order too. A note to the wise, that "handling" fee is highly negotiable. I suppose that is after the initial rush for a new product is gone.
There's no handling fee on the SD this time around.
