Sandisk 512MB SD... For Only $152
eCost, amongst others, is selling Sandisk SD cards for $152 with free shipping. I know some of you have had bad experiences with Sandisk, but at least this illustrates that the prices of SD cards are dropping fairly quickly -- and it's only a matter of time before others follow.

I hear 'ya. But 512MB can totally work in the meantime. Plus those 1GB SD cards are going to cost at least $300 to start.

I wonder if these price reductions signal a release of the 1 gb and 2 gb cards (per msmobile.com site) soon.

I've had way less problems with SanDisk than I have with Lexar.
I think the 512 MB SD is still a little high priced. I've seen the 256 MB SD for $50 - $60. Two of those are a lot less than the 512. Yeah, I know, there are benefits to one large chip. But for now, I can live with a couple of 256's.

Based on MobilePlanet's ad's (before they pulled them out) the 1 gb sd card will be $350.
