SD Card issues/questions

---

Is that the limitations of the hardware? or is that the largest stable SDHC Micro card out so far?

I've run a search for Micro SDHC and while I have come up with links to items as high as 16 (or 12) I get a lot more hits for 8...

I hope its not a hardware limitation.

Also...they should've given the phone 1GB at least of internal storage....oh well.

the g1 support microSD™ memory card (SD 2.0 compatible)
and that mean that it could support 32gb
but the 16gb card was just released and there hasn't been much testing on it
it is just safer to say "up to 8gb"

but the g1 comes with a 1gb microsd card

Yeah it'll be up to 32GB after they're released

good that's what I thought...up to 8GB made no sense as a pure limit.

At launch, the G1 will in fact work with 'up to' 8gb microSD cards. This will change with the 1st firmware update, at which point higher capacity cards will work.

FYI -- an excellent source of Android, and G1, info are the forums at http://www.androidcommunity.com

Is it possible to install programs straight to the card
