yea, my 8 will do at least for a little bit. i got it for just over $20, i'd buy 2 ..or 3...or 4...of them before i spend $100 on (1) 16Gb card.

2 things:
1. I'm excited about the 16Gb being released now, not so I can buy it, but because this will drive down the 8GB prices even further.
2. The research I've done suggests that the bigger the card, the slower the card performs in real-world situations. So I'm afraid the 16GB at class 2 will be noticeably slower compared to an 8GB class 2. Until I hear differently, I will be going with 2 8gb class 6 cards at the same price.

Good to hear. However, keep in mind that relying on an external source such as a SD card will most likely result in about a 30% drop in battery life. That's usually the case with most devices such as MP3 players, phones, etc. I guess until the battery life is assessed in the G1, this shouldn't be a concern.

Great news! I've been holding off buying one... so, I'm on the search for the best price on a 16gb card.

Can you use 16gb sd cards or it has to be sdhc?

So far Buy.com I think had the best price delivered.

I bought one from here:

And yes, I realize the image is not for this card...but I'm encouraged by the fine print!

The 1GB card is plenty for me... I will wait for a 32GB just for bragging rights.

So besides wanting to look like a D bag, there is really no need to get an iphone.
