Do you ever think the GP2X will ever be able to take a 8GB card?


EDIT: can a mod delete the poll I made above this? sorry!

I guess that will be possible but I don't know much about the technology and what could limitations... what could be in the way of using it except firmware?

Does one exist yet?

I don't believe there are any 8GB SD cards yet. According to this site:

http://www.sdcard.com/usa/TextPage.asp?Page=2

8GB SD cards are not due until 2007.

Now the reason why some cameras and PDAs can't read greater than 2GB SD cards is because they can't read FAT32. Since the GP2X can read FAT32, it should ideally be able to read a 8GB SD card when it comes out. Indeed, I bought a 4GB SD card yesterday and it works perfectly fine with my GP2X but can't be read by my Casio Z750 (even though it reads 2GB SD cards fine but it can't go beyond it since anything greater than 2GB will automatically be in a FAT32 format).

In either case, when the 4GB SD cards first came out during last summer, they were hundreds of dollars. Now you can find them as low as $149 at eBay or a few dollars more at newegg.

By the way, my 4GB SD card is an A-Data MyFlash 150X and, again, it works perfectly fine with my GP2X.

The Neo Max 8G from Neoflash.com says that it comes wuth an 8GB SD card. THey also say that it is avalible.

It comes with an 8Gb card (8 gigabit), which is a 1GB (1 gigabyte) card.

Mind your bits and bytes now, because in advertising, bigger=better

Wow, this is great news, I'm running out of space on my 2GB card. I can almost load an entire week of shows onto my card but I'm a little short, and I don't want to get rid of software to make room for them. I know it's cheaper getting multiple 2GB cards, but 4 gigs would hold everything I want so there would be no switching, therefor less wear on the card slot. If the headphone jack was a little better then maybe I'd want even more space, but until the next GPH handheld 4GB would be great for me.

Thanx,
Stan
