I paid £14.33 for half the size last week...ho hum :doh:

And I paid £25 last week for this very card which the postie has just popped through my door this am. Unbeatable price then, even better now (how long is it until pay day :question: ).

techie thoughts:
i think the reason for max SD card size is because the device (camera, whatever) needs to calculate the addressing. this is a fixed limit, and can't cope when card sizes increase the next day. so when newer device models come out, they have a greater capacity.
when devices use CF cards, its the cards that do the addressing, so no demands on the device itself.

£9.99 + Del here for 256Mb if it helps.

I bought one of these cards last week (a couple of pounds more expensive, but I'm not complaining as it was still v.g. value), and am in the process of transferring loads of music onto it to play on my pda. I tried to find the link and can't, but I read on one of the other threads that these are actually Toshiba cards, and I can confirm it as that's what comes up on the card properties - even though the card itself is physically branded as Viking. This might make a difference if you're into big brands - I'm not enough of a techie to know if it really matters.

The Toshiba branding thing is mentioned in one of the reviews on the ebuyer site, second review down. http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=17105127989&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=82393

Something else I noticed when I ordered last week, you get free delivery on these, but when you order the default delivery time is standard which is around 4 days. However, you can alter this to "priority express" which is around 2 days for no extra charge, they only add a surcharge for Saturday delivery...sorry if you already know this.

Only 30 of the 1GB left tonight and I see the 512Mb is no longer with free delivery, so add on another £2.19 for the slowest delivery option.

Yep still the same old same old for those of us left!

I've been playing with the 1GB card in my Micromaxx and works fine but there's only 8 left as we speak so don't think this will last until payday.

I had a look earlier and they were out of stock.
Now they are back in, and are reduced down to £22 inc del.
That is a brilliant price.
