Is there a limitation with X7501/WM6 devices in the size of the expansion card? 1, 2, and 4Gb cards are common and cheap, but then there is 16Gb Class 6, cards coming out:
http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/
Capacities like that are starting to push the Athena into the realm of UMPC's which have 32Gb SSD's.
Anyone care to comment?

that a SDHC not "mini SDHC"
4GB is the MAX current size Mini-SDHC card that will work in the Athena

I read in another thread that someone has bought a 6 gb micro sd just recently. This should work on our device if we use the micro to mini conversion jacket.
Hello,
I'm looking at buying an 8GB SDHC card for my Kaiser, and i was wondering, will the 8GB card have any effect on battery life??
Cheers,
Rob.
I'm no expert, but I don't see why it should. Its not like an 8gb storage card is an application- its simply storage. I haven't any difference since moving up from a 2GB memory card to an 8GB memory card....
But then again, thats just my humble opinion...
Cheers for the reply, i didn't think it would make any difference either.
Just wanted to check!!
where can i get a 32 gb . I know they make one.
There are no 32GB microSDHCs just yet -- you may be thinking of full size SDHC.

"Only" 3 months later than announced...
Now I've got to wait until they arrive in Belgium (or if I should find a reasonable deal on the internet somewhere).
Same here, waiting for them to hit the US....
sweet...why can't u order it and have it shipped to the US?
Just curious, what are you going to do with 16 GB card?
myself, I would do twice what I already do.
will these work on computers or our kaisers?

thank you for the response cbass, the reason I ask is because I bought an 8 gb hc card for my computer and it would not recognize it, do you think that I need an external card reader? thanks
Does anyone try a 8 GB microSD on Kaiser? Is it really working? What ROM do you use for this?
I'm using a 6GB microsd card but I've seen plenty of users with an 8GB microsd card on this forum.
It doesn't really matter what ROM you're using, the Kaiser supports microsd HC (high capacity) cards, which allows the usage of cards beyond 2GB (-> 4, 6, 8 and the newest 16 GB).

I've been using a SanDisk 8GB on my Kaiser for almost a year now with no issues. I'm using the stock WWE ROM the device shipped with.
What class are these sandisk cards?
Personally I want to hold out for C6 or C8 cards before upgrading my 6GB C4
AFAIK they're C4 cards. I'm going to wait for C6 or 8 to come out too, the C4s do run a little slow.
I'm using my 8GB card, which I also used in my XDA Orbit (with cooked SDHC drivers), since I've had it. No issues at all.
I don't think I really need 16GB right now, I've still got 2.5GB free on my current 8GB card, but my music collection is expanding, and I think Tomtom Navigator 7's map files are larger too... Maybe soon.
Chris
is patriot a relaiable brand for the micro sd?
is it just me or the picture on the website http://www.mobymemory.com/products/SanDisk/SanDisk-16GB-microSDHC-Memory-Card.asp
looks like its been photoshopped
It definitely looks photoshopped. The number 6 in the 16 is not the same color or size as the number 1 nor is it the same font as the rest of the words. You can also clearly see the square around the 6 showing that the 6 was cut from another image.
Hi,
There is no any informations how much capacity microSD I can use in Touch HD. Anyone has tried 16GB? It seems that 8GB is a maximum but maby I'm wrong.
32 gb should work but 16gb is the largest available right now afaik
32 GiB is the maximum.
I have a 16gb in mine right now and it works fine. I also have an 8gb one which came free with the touch hd

Maximum HD supports is 32GB when such microSDHC card becomes available. Many website already sells 16GB accesories, and there is already a class 6 available if you're thinking of getting one. Look under accessories subforum.
I notice that all versions I see are only 16 GB of storage. I am sorry but that is pretty damn weak for a tab. The iPad goes to 64 GB.
I heard that there were 7.7 tabs up to 64 GB but haven even seen a 32 gb version around.
Is this something that is just planned for the distant future or is there a 32 gb and up version out somewhere?
Fom what i have seen, only 16Gb models are in stock for now.
32Gb and 64Gb will be available later on I guess.

Yeah, the iPad goes up to 64GB, BUT, the iPad lacks a micro SD slot, AND since 64GB micro SD cards have already been confirmed working in the 7.7, there's your 64GB version right there!
Now... I wonder how much a 128GB micro SD card would be...
the 7.7 comes in 16, 32 and 64 versions
32 is already available for order from Expensyve... i mean Expansys
i'm waiting for the 64 GB version already own a 64 GB microSD so that'll adds up to 128 GB
and if they release the 128 microSD later this year/next year, then i'll definitely get it too and make this device a 192 GB portable entertainment unit ... and work of course... that's the whole reason we're getting it for anyways for "work" file under business expenses

Don't get me wrong, having 64 GB of internal storage would be nice and all, but honestly, with how much of my media I put on the cloud anyway, having a 64 GB external SD card is plenty good for me.
The way I'm set up now, all my pictures and music are stored in the cloud, and I basically just use my SD card for TV and movies.
But everyone is different!
P.S. Where are you seeing the 7.7 as being available on Expansys? Either the 16 or the 32 GB version. Both the US and the Canadian sites show it as a pre-order only (still!!!)...
P.P.S Nevermind, I see it on the UK site. £599 though?! Ouch... That's like $945 USD!! Good lord...

yeah Expansys prices are always over the top vs. other retailers
16 gb = 499, 32 gb = 599, so if and when the 64 gb version does come out i'm sure it's going to be 699 pounds
hoping to find it on other places. definitely not buying it at those over priced prices from expansys

Yes, a SD card is fine, but NOT if you want to use Dropbox, which doesn't work with SD, only internal storage (unless that recently changed).
So yes, I'm waiting for 64GB as well and so far, nothing in Spain

If you root and edit the platform.xml file then all apps such as Dropbox can then write to the external SD card.

If you don't want to root your device then yeah, nothing but the stock apps will be able to save to the SD card. You can still transfer files via MTP, but that's not the same.

I don't know about you, but currently, my dropbox space is only at 2GB, so that's a non-issue for me.
Besides that, with the external SD card permissions modified, how can you change where dropbox saves anyway? I haven't found the option in its settings...

The latest version of Dropbox has an option to "export to SD card". It doesn't create its own folders like previous versions but just lets you save files individually in your location of choice.

Yeah but 64 GB SD cards are still a ripoff. When they get down to $59 where they should be then that is a good option. You can get 32 GB for around $30.00 and 64 GB is around $200, that is ridiculous!

Yeah everyone is different and handing control of access to my stuff to the "cloud" is a poor option for me. I am not always connected to the net, and don't want to be just to look at a picture or listen to a song/album etc. I also would opt for a wifi only version as I don't want to pay for expensive 3G service. Plus SD access is much quicker than constantly downloading from the "cloud" and battery life is much better without having the modem radio always on . A 32 GB internal option would be nice for me I just hope it doesn't take them forever to release it.

I bought mine on Amazon for about $150, which yeah, it's expensive, but it's still less than the ~$200 more you could expect to pay for a 64GB 7.7, not to mention that the cost of external memory will inevitably get cheaper anyway. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah but I want the internal mostly for apps and external for data (music, video, pictures etc). The thing I know is that "16 GB" is really not 16 GB. After they get done bloating it up with all of the crap they usually put on there you are lucky if you have 10 GB left.
Plus having 32 GB internal doesn't mean that I couldn't add 64 GB SD later when they get reasonable. More is always more and card swapping sucks (but at least you can do it unlike Apple stuff).

True. However, supposedly ICS will bring the ability to install apps to external storage. If this is the case, then that vastly improves what you can install.
For me, the way I currently run my 7.7, I minimize my internal memory usage by keeping my heavyweight media on my external SD (like movies and TV). My internal storage is almost exclusively used for apps and app data. All of my pictures and music are cloud-sourced, so if any of that is actually on my device, it's because it has been stored in the application cache data. By doing this, I still have about 8GB of headroom on my internal storage (out of the 13GB available), which is still plenty enough for me and whatever other apps I decide to install.
More than anything though, I'd rather have the 16GB model as soon as it's available, and then upgrade it with 64GB of external storage, than have to wait weeks, or even months, for the 32 or 64 GB versions.
I agree, more is always better of course, but I just don't have the patience to wait for it. If you do, then my hat goes off to you!

Well it depends on how long it will be before the 32 GB ships out. If it is like 3 months away or something I would probably bite the bullet and get the 16 GB. All I know is that how things usually go is that I buy the 16 GB THEN they announce a week later that the 32 GB is shipping.
Having a 16 GB version at all seems dumb. I mean 32 GB micro SDs are around $30 and they make money selling them. The actual cost difference between 16 and 32 GB internal chip to Sammy (they actually make the flash memory) is what, $5.00? I would think it would cost more just to keep track of and make all of these different ones.
The GT-6810 (16Gb & 32Gb WiFi) has been available here for a couple of weeks now (Oz). That is when I got mine. No 3G models released yet AFAIK.
