If they want that much money for a 16gig card they are fucking mental.
Hell, even the 4 gig is stupid. You can get an 8-gig MicroSDHC and reader for 20 bux at Fry's. Yeah it's a little bit bigger, but not much.

@RuBBa_cHiKiN: They take SD Cards. There are also USB slots on the side, but I am running Ubuntu off the SD slot, so a slim reader for the USB slots would be welcome.

Perfect for netbooks - leave it plugged in 99% of the time and just use it when you want to transfer media from the home PC over. Anyone know what kind of speed it gets?
Giz doesn't have a set of rules about what they can or can't post. It's a blog. They can post whatever they want.
What's with the need for readers to constantly evaluate whether a posted story conforms to their perception of Giz's mission statement, micromanage the editors, enforce a set imaginary rules that exist only in their own mind, and purify the blog of what they perceive as extraneous content that others come here to read?
Something is Giz-worthy by virtue of it being posted on Giz. There is no other standard.
Editors have discretion to shape the blog into anything they like. They're free to post, and readers are free to read... or not. But why the impulse among some readers to act like school-marmy school teachers slapping a student's wrist for not following The Rules?
You could just as well ask:
How is Lego a gadget?
How is humor a gadget?
Yet those are regular features on Giz, as well as many other topics that stray far enough from a strict definition of "gadget" to be of interest to its broader audience and make it a funner, more interesting blog.
wow... so many fascists here... maybe y'all should go start your own blog and fill it w/ content based on your narrow definitions of what's appropriate.
elaine, i hope you keep posting these types of stories
@Weihovah: Yeah, we're facists because we want gadgets in our gadget blog.
That's like going to a strip club with a sign outside that says "LIVE NUDE FEMALES" and seeing a naked guy inside. Sure you don't HAVE to look, but it's still a deception.
@UnexpectedEOF: And of course, unless you really wanted to do some serious research, it could appear that it is a man, but actually fall under the scientific definition of female. But I'm not going to make sure the penis is real before I leave. Would you?
By the power vested in me (which is none, really) I declare vietiscool the winner of this thread, for having the most logical, reasonable, and erudite comment out of the 4729 comments on here thus far.

If they were $30 I'd have one by now (I have a Sansa Fuze and have been waiting for them to come in to the $30 range).

Wait a minute, I'm confused now. Do OLPC's take MicroSD cards natively?

The USB spec should be revised so that manufacturers could start including ports that only accept low profile plugs.
06/24/09
in lieu of those that can accept all? that's a terrible idea, sir.
