I just did that and it worked great!

I got a 4GB Transcend SDHC Class 6 memory card. It was $10 from Amazon with free shipping (with a $25 purchase. We bought other stuff too :-) ).

Just got it.

Clipped off one side carefully so I could separate the card. It was half height inside. So I took off the front (with the label and the contact grooves) and cut the back in half.
(I haven't glue'd the back on yet, so it's just loose, but that's next. )

I plugged it in, powered it on, and there's memory. 3.71GB according to the Memory card tab of the Memory applet.

It was that easy!!!

Now, let's see if I can get the card back out (since I didn't glue that piece in) and then glue the cover of the card (the lower half of the back) back on. :-)
