Hei ... where did you see 6gb microSDHC card available to purchase?
As far as I know it has not been released to the store yet.
I was looking for it last week all over the internet, but found nothing.
They have, but only for pre-order.

It cost me 38 pounds. However I used my friends credit card and he is the one who will be shipping it to me once he gets it tomorrow from London, since mobymemory won't ship to the States. I would say roughly around $85.

I ordered one of those 6GB cards from mobymemory for my kaiser (which should be here today - woohoo!) and paid an extra £1.99 for a microsd to sd adapter.
When it came, the adapter was part of the sandisk package (along with a white usb sd reader) - surely I should have got another micro sd to sd adapter?
Not sure it is worth complaining lol, I only ordered it to bump it above £40 for free delivery.

Haven't seen any avail in the US. Though Sandisk is selling them directly on their site (not sure where it would ship from). Of course, they are charging full price.
My question is how fast of a card is the Kaiser able to read? There are "class 2" and "class 4" SDHC cards. And I assume there will be faster ones developed/sold down the road. And of course, the faster they are, the more expensivethey tend to cost. So, how fast of a card can the Kaiser keep up with before you are "wasting money"? Anyone know or willing to venture a guess?

I'm just guessing, but from what i have read i don't expect to see the 8gb till nov/dec
and the price is going to be high :)
i think i'm going to get the 6 and wait for the prices to come down on the 8
there are bunches of ebay sellers http://cgi.ebay.com/6GB-MICRO-SD-MEMORY-CARD-MICROSD-SDHC-N95-Z8-8800-4-GB_W0QQitemZ220152076780QQihZ012QQcategoryZ96991QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
that ship to the US - this looks like 100 bucks. SD doesn't appear to have them avail on their site for purchase. The online store doesn't have it.
The US vendors are talking about first week in Oct for delivery
I was thinking about waitng for the 16gb for my camera, but the price is going to be crazy ;)

I had the same problem with a 4gb card in my Prophet. Did some research and found folks attributing it to multiple and repeated write commands -- i.e., having your IE cache (or, in my case, Opera cache) placed on the storage card. Moving the cache to main memory solved the problem for me. That was a pain with the Prophet's limited memory, but with the Kaiser it's no problem! I also can report that the SanDisk 6gb works flawlessly (at least so far) -- but I'm making a backup just in case!!

There's no built-in formatter on the Kaiser; Pocket Mechanic or Resco Explorer will do it, and there are probably others. You should be getting a USB adapter with your 6GB card, so you can format it on your PC, if all else fails.
Anyway, the cards come pre-formatted, so you don't really need to reformat.

Check this kind of values from your card:
This are from my card:
- Sector size: 512 bytes
- Sector per cluster: 8
- Cluster size: 4096 bytes
- Backup copy of FAT: -
- Usable clusters: 1490123
It is worth to compare. To may understanding having more clusters is more efficient for saving small files.
