This is the note I received from SanDisk.....

Hello,


Thank you for contacting SanDisk Technical Support.

We are planning to market a 2GB Extreme III SD card, but we have no release date at this time.

Sincerely,
SanDisk Technical Support



........... has anyone (with any sort of inside scoop) heard anything about a release date?

Cheers,

Syno
 
I had read somewhere that usually the largest size card that could be ran and acknowledged was 1.5 g cards. I don't have any experience with anything above 1 gig (which is what I am running), but have you read anything different or have updated information?
Thanks,
Carol
 
It's all personal Syno - good luck if you want it.

Personally I wouldn't use a SanDisk card as a toothpick - two bad ones were enough. It's Panasonic or nothing for me and I won't "budge." 2GB is great until you have 0 GB because it went South.
 
Yeah I guess so ........

I had a SanDisk Ultra 512 and then moved to the 1G SanDisk Extreme III (b/c of great things I heard via Blue Nomad .............. oh, wait a minute...your not a big fan of them either....lol.

Anyway, yep: guess it's preference. Until it dies on me, I have no reason to doubt it. Just lookin' for even more space .....pushin' the limits baby!!!!

Later,

Syno
 
The file system used by your Tungsten T3 can support expansion cards up to and including 1GB. Larger cards may cause unexpected behavior or not work in these devices.
 
Syno, the max of 1 gb for the T3 is that From Palm?
Wanted to check because I am now seeing the 2gb sd card at some stores.
I was thinking about buying it, but dont want to spend $170.00 for something I can't use.

I already have the 1gb size card (sandisk) and it works fine.

Thank you,

I responded to a thread back in June regarding max capacity SD card handling capability of various Palm devices and pointed a link to a PalmOne web page listing those capacities. I just checked and that page is no longer available, although a search in Palm's Support Knowledge Library still brings up a reference to that page. Here is the thread if you are interested:

Interestingly, I discovered from that now non-existent web page that 1.5 GB SD cards DO exist, but they are of the ultra speed variety, cost more than a 2GB SD card, and offered no advantages when used in Palm OS devices. (I'm not sure if that is true with the introduction of Palm's LifeDrive.) Maybe Palm is revising that page?
