Comments on: Sandisk Announces 4GB SDHC Ultra II Plus card
Sandisk’s MSRP of the new Ultra II SDHC Plus card is expected to be $79.99, with general availability occurring in October. This is not only more affordable buy than the $129.99 Ducati version of this card, but also a wiser purchase as well. No current Palm device can approach the full speed of even a class 2 SDHC card, so the Ducati card's higher speed rating would only be realized when copying and writing files to a PC or perhaps during HD video capture camera operations.

RE: PDAParts.com's 4gb card (slightly OT)
In theory that card should work on the LifeDrive, 700p, 680 and most likely the WinMob Treo 700w/wx as well. And, uh, the Foleo as well, in case someone out there's still hoping to snag one.

Here's the link directly to the card: http://tinyurl.com/3adm59
As you can see, the list of compatible devices is extensive.

RE: TX
The best the TX can do is a 4GB SD 1.1 (*NOT* SDHC) card. The LifeDrive and Treo 680 and 700p can also handle 4gb SD cards. The two Treos (with ROM 1.10 on the Treo) can also handle 4gb SDHC cards.
These are unofficial non-spec cards so you won't find 4gig SD cards from Sandisk, Toshiba, Lexar etc.
Newegg currently lists two 4GB SD cards. One is from Transcend and the other is from OCZ. The Transcend is $53 shipped after $15 mail in rebate and the OCZ (likely a better quality card) is $68 shipped.
The SD consortium & the big SDHC manufacturers are rumored to be cracking down on the smaller Asian firms producing non-spec 4GB cards so I'd grab one while they are still reasonably affordable and widely available.
I personally have a 4gb Patriot SD card that i use in both my TX and 700p with no issues whatsoever.
Don't be surprised if your PC or printer's card slot freaks out with the 4gb card. I've had mixed results using 4GB cards on my various PC readers. But a general rule of thumb is that any SD reade claiming to handle SDHC will also take ak FAT32-formatted 4gig SD card with no problems.

Does anyone els ethink this is getting ridiculous?
That is to say, it'll take MORE than an hour to read the drive at full speed.

I used to giggle at the old Star Trek (what's THAT?) shows where The Good Captain would insert a rectangular something into the computer to retrieve some enormous set of data:

[the little rectangular thingees to the left of Scotty's hand are them]
The amount of data on one of those Hollywood cards is miniscule compared to this.
Sheesh.
