Has anyone bought one of these and tested it. Or even bought something from this company. Just want to make sure if it is legit and would work.

The cards are real but they don't work right in the wizards. They only see 2gb of the space available.
Maybe a future rom upgrade will correct this.

has anybody ordered one of these? i'm looking for a 2gb card and 29.99 sounds damn good.

29.99 sounds too good to be true....

although Fry's Outpost was offering the Kingston 2gb mini sd for 29.99 after $17 rebate. I had bought one but they were sold out and on backorder (wouldnt have got it in time for rebate so i cancelled)

$30 for a 2gb card is about right. I got mine for 45 shipped about 3 to 4 months ago.

There's a 2GiB limitation on both mini, micro, and regular SD. Thus the "SDHC" card at the SD level. I'd be wary of anything over 2GiB. I think it's a FAT16 thing, but it works fine (my 2GiB 8125 Mini) on FAT32.

I had an A-Data 2GB mini-SD card, and I never had a problem with it.

edit:
Ok, after looking in to this further it seems like these cards are "hacked" 2gb cards that have some how used some trick-formatting to make them appear to be 4gb, but if you try and format them or do anything with them, they won't work right.

STAY AWAY FROM 4gb minisd's until you see them on SanDisk's site.

First of all SanDisk Memory cards suck, I have never had one the didn't go bad. But as to the A-data issue, on their website they don't list a card larger than 1GB.
