I'm just curious what all you 1GB SD card owners put on it when used with the XDA 1/2.

I ordered mine a few days ago for £94 inc delivery from NYC on eBay. It arrives tomorrow.

If I can't think of anything amazing I'm probably going to fill it up with MP3s, but these seems a bit of a waste of a 'Pocket PC'.

I've got a GPS unit and TomTom 3, so I've allocated 100mb for the UK map...

I've got a further 150ish mb of apps and games from my old SD card that I'll probably keep....

So that leaves 750mb...

But wait, I've still got the 250mb SD card it replaced, so I've still got 1GB to fill...

Suggestions please!

I have on my card:
- TomTom D-A-CH (256MByte)
- Wikipedia, complete (!)
- several eBooks, including some law books
- from time to time a few DVD rips (from DVDs I bought!), to watch during a train ride for example
- a few nice pictures
- MP3, of course

But I find it actually quite useful to leave a few hundred meg free, so I can use the card to transport data from here to there if necessary

How is the experience with read/write speed on these 1GB SD cards??
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=52965#52965

I have some problems with my 256MB SD from Kingston in combination with TomTom3 (on SD: maps and 1 extra POI file activated makes TomTom3 freeze when the data-transfer rate gets behind to the needs of TomTom)

i seriously doubt that the xda2 could ever reach the usb2 speeds of 480Mbit
