    That's a great deal. I recently bought the 16GB version from Newegg for $23. I'm fighting the urge of buying another one for my Cowon.

    37.60 after shipping and tax. Still a good deal though. I have been looking for a card this size and although its only class 4, thats still quick enough. Now I have to make sure my phone supports class 4... I'm pretty sure it does but if not I can always put it in the xoom.

    I wonder what would happen if you made a custom SSD on a small board with 16 of those 32GB microSD cards (512 GB total). Basically put them on a little microSD board that includes some compression / raid / write cycle distribution wear leveling software. Curious what type of performance you could get out of a home-made solution
