Decent review for an unimpressive device

The micro SD card will hurt this device more than anything, I think. With prices on standard SD cards falling (I just bought a 2GB card for $40), it seems to be a better value to use an existing Palm (like my T3) and get TomTom Navigator.

An interesting review, but I can't see this device selling that well.

One by one, the penguins are stealing my sanity.

Adama & I speculated that Sandisk & Garmin are in cahoots to push MicroSD/TF in Garmin's new devices.

Sandisk has that new line of iPod Nano-esque MP3 players with good amounts (4/6gb+) of flash onboard but they crippled 'em with MicroSD for external storage instead of regular SD.

Right NOW the biggest problem Sandisk should be concerned with is getting SDHC devices & cards finalized & onto store shelves. There's rampant consumer misinformation & widespread device incompatability and manufacturer apathy with SD cards 1gb in size & larger.

MANY older SD devices cannot use cards larger than 512mb. Many more cannot see 2gb cards. And nearly all existing SD peripherals cannot read or write 4gb cards despite their availability from numerous manufacturers for sub-$100 prices.

With issues like that at hand with conventional, MicroSD(formerly TransFlash) is overpriced & too fragile. It's not even designed for regular insertion & removal. Boo to Garmin for crippling their iQue with no Bluetooth & no full size SD slot!

She actually complained! Sorry, I just really hate her. She knows nothing.

When she did the LifeDrive review, they covered up 3 crashes/resets. She didn't mention a thing.
