I wonder if our dear Touch HD can handle this memory card?
http://dailymobile.se/2009/10/19/press-sandisk-starts-shipping-64gb-memory-cards/
I'd be very wary of that story.
The SDHC standard only goes up to 32GB, there's already the SDXC standard that has been agreed upon that will cover larger sizes.
So it doesn't make much sense that Sandisk would try producing 64GB SDHC-based cards as they'd likely not be properly supported by anyone. Doubly so given that SDXC is really just an extension of the SDHC standard and there seems to be a school of thought that any SDHC-capable hardware would be able to be made SDXC-compatible by way of some software tweaking.
Yeah I dont believe it untill I actually see the card and hear ppl testing it
I dont spend that money on my phone but I hope it will lower the prices of the 16GB cards so I can buy one of those Im still using the 8GB card that came with the phone.

I do believe anything over 4gb is classified as a SDHC. If you can get a class 6 that would be better as it is faster.
16gig's works as well with the possibility of 32. I just don't know if anyone has tried 32gig's
I don't even know of any 32gb micro sd card for sale.
Newegg doesn't carry them.
I am running a 16gb Ridata class 6 and it works fine.
However for the price, I would have to suggest a sandisk Ultra 8gb micro sd
It has about 3 times the read speed as my class 6.
They are both about $50
I wanted more space for media storage and I port around several apps that I use on different computers.

I don't know of anyone who carries them either but 32 gig's is part of the Micro SDHC standard and on adverts for best buy I do notice the logo for some phones that they can accept 32gigs cards. They are around though but I believe mostly in Asia and in small numbers.
Also I'm not sure but I don't think the slot on the G1 takes advantage of anything faster then class 6 for SDHC memory cards. This is because it would draw more voltage and the device might get to hot.
32GB Class 4's are supported.

Thats too big, and probably expensive. Should be saving those pennies for nexus..
I just purchased a 32GB microSDHC on ebay for under $30!!! Just got it in the mail and have been testing it to make sure it actually works, and it works fine. I am having a few problems. Nothing really major, just some issues between the phone, Windows 7, and Lucid Lynx Ubuntu. The phone, as well as Windows 7 only recognizes 31.2 GB and Ubuntu recognizes 34GB. I am unable to partition the card for Apps2SD with the console, parted, or in Ubuntu. In Amon RA's recovery it says it has partitioned the card but the time it takes to do it is too fast. In parted I get an input\output error and it asks me if i want to retry\ignore\cancel and parted is only recognizing 33.6GB. If i retry or cancel in parted it goes through and the print command says my partitions are there as I have set them up but the phone and Ubuntu don't recognize them and disk utility in Ubuntu says my ext partition is not clean when I run the partition check. I don't know what else to try and have put this here only because the 32GB card is mentioned. Any and all help and info is very much appreciated.

Sorry dude, I think you were scammed. eBay is notorious for these fake cards. Allow me to explain.
A lot of this stuff popped up when the PSP came out. People wanted cheap Memory Stick Pro Duo cards. These manufacturers found a way to hack the sectors, making the card look bigger than it actually is. You could make a 1gb card look like a 4gb card.
Firstly, you would get tons of I/O errors. This is because it is trying to address places that simply don't exist.
Secondly, the memory would fail at random intervals. This was because they bought cheap flash chips.
The problem is that there is no way to guarantee authenticity from eBay unless you're buying it direct from the manufacturer.
IMO, only buy Sandisk products. They are the only ones reliable out there. And yes, they aren't the cheapest, but they are the most reliable.
Here is the best pricing I could find for you:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1280509434&sr=1-1
Being though Amazon, you can trust it IMO.
Taking delivery of my phone soon.
What's the latest on microSD cards?
Are 32GB worth it? Do they work?
Any particular minimum Class I should get, even if I have to get 16GB?
Thanks

am using class 6 works fine.
I use an 8Gb, class 4 without any issues. Resco is installed on the card.
Although if your going to flash a ROM from a micro SD card use one < 8Gb.
Thanks,

From my experience, it's not the class or size that matters. It's the make. (Obviously a smaller card with a higher class will have faster r/w speeds, but that's not usually a noticeable issue.)
I never buy any SD cards now that are not SanDisk, and I can't remember the last time I had one that didn't work.
Some brands seem to get a lot of complaints.
The class wouldn't really matter if you're just using it to store data/apps.
I use a Nokia N900 and run Android off the SD card. A higher class gives a better speed when running an O/S off of one. But using one to store data/apps wouldn't give a noticable advantage of one class than another.
Obviously the size does matter but depends on what you'll use it for.
Plus for flashing use < 8Gb.
Thanks,
Al
PS. I agree with the brands. I don't buy cheap non-branded ones. Although I've never had an issue with any of the 'cheap' ones.
The size of the card depends on your needs. If you cram a lot of stuff in there or apps, then aim for 16gb or 32gb.
You can find 32gb on amazon from $70 up (sandisk, kingston, dane elec -- those are deem legit 32gb cards) and most of them should give real class 4 performance (even when they're listed as class 2 like sandisk).
For me I like San Disk,but I want to test Toshiba 16GB Class4.The seller told me that Toshiba quality is good also and I decided to buy it.
Never had any problem with file transfer and running android on SD card.
I've used it 4 months now.So far so good.
I use a kingston 8gb class 4.. Never had any issues with performance
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I'll probably run Android off the card initially with the standard WM 6.5 tweaked. Maybe put some SatNav on there too.
As for Apps depends what I come across. For WM I have an old large build of offline Wikipedia and some dictionaries etc.

I had my 8GB SanDisk in my G1 for 2 years, then my HD2 for about 8 months, then randomly one day it stopped working.
If I plugged it in, all of my content appeared on the phone such as pictures. Then after about 30 seconds it would freeze, and then the phone would say no SD card is inserted. I managed to copy all of my pictures across on the PC luckily before it froze.
Granted it was old - but they do fail after a while.
As said
Can we use them or are we ****ed?
720p movies take up alot of space
I know samsung is always very secretive about their hardware but does anyone know if the phone already supports it perhaps?
I believe it can only use 32GB but I'm not sure.
The amount of information about microSD standards and what readers samsung use is minimal so someone with alot of insight can hopefully answer this
Im asking this because during the jump from microSD to microSDHC alot of microSD only devices could read microSDHC cards
The answer is currently no because it only supports up to SDHC. Of course, if someone gets a 64GB card and tests it on the SGSII, then that could change.
Throw one of these bad boys in there (assuming the Transformer would recognize it) and you could get 96GB on the tablet without the sd slot in the dock:
http://www.kingmax.com/news_info.asp?fid=145&id=2030
I wonder how much that would cost?
I will admit that that would be super wicked but I doubt the tab would recognize it.
iirc the microSD slot on the tablet itself is only SDHC, which is 32gb max, this guy is SDXC, which is supported in the dock but not the tablet, as per Asus.
Who needs that much space? What are you saving on your tab? i have not even touched my 16GB onboard and let alone my 32GB SD Card

As long as there exists a way to utilize local external storage, people will find a way to fill up said storage. For those of us that keep large collections of movies, music, photos, and games, cloud storage is simply not sufficient.
Personally I have over 200GB worth of music alone, so an external hard drive is my only option if I want to be able to take it all with me on my Transformer. I can't imagine how much it'd cost for enough cloud storage to handle my music collection.

CLOUD is not ftw! It all depends on the quality of your internet connection and its always requires that you are online to have access to your storage.
Umm, why settle for a 64gb SDXC.....? If you're burning money just go all out and grab one of these

Apparently the micro sdxc cards should work in the microsd card slot as well as the 'normal' sized sdxc cards in the dock when they are made available, so 4tb (2tb micro sdxc +2tb sdxc) of extra storage isn't looking too bad for the future (when re-mortgaging the house isn't necessary to purchase them).
There's conflicting theories on whether the microSD slot will support SDXC capacities, and I can't seem to find anyone that has actually tried it, since obviously no one can actually get their hands on a micro SDXC card yet. I don't think we'll know for sure until someone is able to try it.

Quite true, but the sdxc cards were designed to work, and be backward compatible with sd card readers (once the driver is installed), so even if it's not an official feature from Asus it will more than likely become an official feature by google for android and therefore be possible to implement in the future. Link for more info here:
http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdxc/using_sdxc
Whatever happens there's always hope, for a storage behemoth.

Sorry but I think you misunderstood the page you linked to. An SDXC card will only _ever_ work in SDXC capable hardware.
Only Use SDXC Memory Cards in SDXC Devices
SDXC devices are backwards compatible, so they accept SD and SDHC memory cards. SDXC memory cards must only be used with SDXC devices and should never be used in non-compatible devices.

Each Transformer SD slot is either SDXC or it isn't. if it isn't it will never be able to use SDXC cards.
@SilentMobius
The only reason they state on that page that SD card slots in 'non compatible' devices wont work, is either because the slot is outdated or there is no easy way to update the drivers to make them read the newer cards (firmware flashes via a computer and usb cables can add features such as these, but most manufacturers only support their latest hardware, and quickly forget about 4+ month old devices). There will be a way to update the drivers in the TF, and Android devices have a long lifespan, as I think everyone on these forums would agree.
Granted there have been a few minor revisions of the SD card socket over the years, but the ones based on the more modern revisions should be upgradable to SDXC compatibility via drivers. It all comes down to what slot, as you say, they have put in the device and the jury is still out on that one, as there are no visible markings internally to specify.
As we all know SDXC cards work in the dock reader, even though Asus dont state this on their specification sheet any more, so the same should/could be true for the micro slot. As they are only just appearing on the market, we shall find out in time.

Considering MicroSDXC != SDXC and is not out yet, I say that is a big NO
Audiogalaxy ftw. No matter how large your music collection you can stream it from anywhere. Now if I can only find a similar service for movies
I know its a microSD and the max for microSD is 32gb... however. I have fashioned a case to use a micro-sd converter. I do notice that once you are at 64gb it is a SDXC not SDHC standard. The connections are the same, but is our phone capable of addressing the memory past 32gb?
I would LOVE to drop a 128gb sd card into this bad boy!
I just remembered there was a thread based on pretty much the same question as you just asked, just head on over to the thread link I will post and read it up, but the answer is mainly on the page I will link it to

cheers and hit thanks if you want.
edit: the answer above is only if you plan on usind SDXC, but I remember certains users hooking up a mini drive or some sort to their device so yes our device can use more than 32GB at a cost though of design?... just not SDXC cards though.
using bigger cards
Dang well since sdxc is the only 64gb + sd cards.... darn!
