Hello,
I am looking to buy a 2GB SD card for my mp3 player. I was wondering if anyone has come across any good deals regarding this? Thanks!

sadly, itll most likely be cheaper to get 2x 1gb. :( 2gb cards are still very unpopular and low volume. You shouldn't have a problem finding 2 1giggers for about $140-180 brand new, while 2gb sd cards are from about 180 to $260 :(

this is probably about as good a deal as it gets given the speed and durability of ATP :(
On a side note, newegg.com and ecost.com usually have good to very good deals but they are american so shipping across the border will kill the deal.

I'd trust that seller (great feedback ratio and zillions of transactions), but not sure I'd put too much faith in that media :-)

that hot pink looks... hot!
any reviews on that media? couldn't find any on google.
that auction is really cheap compared to the other ones though.. hmmm.
*edit: hmm.. some american sites have the adata at a higher price than sandisk ultraII's...

They should be OEM's of others. It's just the sticker that is different. They said it is a Samsung ram, good though =D
Use this one and match an iPod nano in memory size =D

kingmax is known for crappy quality/reliability, trying to sound like Kingston with their name >:( I wouldn't try to save a buck at a cost of reliability

The ADATA 2GB card on eBay works out to be about $142 CDN after conversion at xe.com. Wondering about duties/taxes upon crossing the border now :S
Thanks for the replies so far... I would go for 2x 1GB but wouldn't mind paying abit more for the convenience of a 2GB card :)
looking for other alternatives

ok, well how about Corsair? that a better brand name?
I don't like the fact that the Kingmax 'only' has a 5 year warranty, but for $20 more here's some piece of mind with lifetime.
