Sorry that's not a micro SD card just a regular SD card.

Yeah the word micro is an essential word WTF is taking so long for Sandisk to release the 32GB version of the Micro SDHC card?!

Thats what I am saying, but then again the price tag will deter a lot of people

But my employee discount @ Best Buy will come in BIG TIME handy there

 

[Cory Streater]

I'll bet it will

Correct---and I forgot to add that if that's the price for the SDHC card, how much will the micro SD card cost, with it's tiny form factor?

Ouch.

Not worth it. I'd rather just transfer my files occasionally, rather than carry everything with me.

I can see the 32GB card only being truly useful if you are going to be lugging around your videos (or gaming when you can save apps to SD) with you. Since the Android platform isn't ideal for movie watching, and apps aren't officially supported being saved to SD, 16GB is plenty to accomodate most music enthusiasts needs. I have an 8GB card and have plenty of room left on it for pretty much anything.

At 260 bucks I agree.

 

[Chris Kerrigan]

260 bucks?! No thanks. For that price, I'd rather carry around a mini external and get 10x the storage.

 

[Cory Streater]

With my luck, that $260 card would be lost within weeks.

Well thats because its the Extreme III version, which has higher speed. Regular 32 GB SD cards are available in slower options for much less money. Such as $95 dollars for a San Disk 32 GB SDHC card at NewEgg(sorry it won't let me put a hyperlink in the post because I have less than 5 total posts, so you will have to look it up yourself to confirm). And there are even cheaper options also for 32 GB SDHC cards. So when you consider that price, a micro SD card seems like it could be a little more reasonable than what you would think from the 260 buck example from Cosco
