Really not a very good deal. You can spend 3USD more and get a Class 6 4GB MicroSDHC which is noticably faster.

Class 6? I don't know what the difference is, but I'll check wikipedia.

Edit: can't find any useful information, mind explaining?

2nd Edit: ok, I see it means 4MB transfer rate for class 4

I've said this many times before.

That is one of the best microSDHCs on the market.

You have to force it by a command line command.

It's' given here on this forum for Windows XP.

I use Kubuntu so...

sudo mkfs.vfat -F 16 /dev/sd*1...forces VFAT16 (required for 4GB); where "*" is your flash drive letter. Choose carefully.

sudo fdisk -l

...will list your drive and its recognized device.
QUOTE

sudo umount /dev/sd*1

...to un-mount (but not "Eject" or "Safely remove") it before formating.

tigerdirect.com, although you MAY be able to find it cheaper from an actual Canadian dealer.

(Tigerdirect.com is US based as well, and last I checked they were charging about $3 more than newegg.com for that 4GB A-Data SDHC card. Have no idea about shipping cost to Canada from them, as newegg.com usually has better pricing/shipping options.)

I just looked at the other sellers more closely, and it seems no one will ship outside of u.s.

The price is not bad, but they don't have Micro SD HC (class 6)
