    That really sucks, this means the biggest sd card you can use in the Wind is 2gigs :(

    What's the point in having a sdhc card anyway? The hard drive is 80 GB... The thing about the Eee was that it only had 4/8 GB of storage to begin with, and a sdhc card was necessary for more space.

    True but a sdhc card comes in handy when you want to transfer data etc from other computers onto the Wind especially since it doesn't have an optical drive. You're pretty limited with just a 2GB sd card.

    More and more devices used SDHC cards (cell phones, cameras etc) - its a handicapped Wind!

    well, if the wind gets a large enough user base, then someone will probably develop a hack for it like it has happened for some pdas and pocket pcs in the past.

    Maybe it is still using beta drivers? Even the really cheap card readers can handle SDHC these days.

    Most likely a preproduction model, there have been plenty of reviews that have said SDHC is no problem.

    Care to link which review that said SDHC is not a problem. I am seriously considering this Wind. I will look for other mininotebooks if Wind will not support SDHC.
