Why not just use the Micro to MiniSD adapter?
16GB (with the highest performance MicroSD) would be a nigh/day difference compared to the internal 2gb.

Any thoughts..
I built this because:

I have two 16GB SD card for what I paid for just one 16GB class 2 microSD for my cell phone. (Not in cell phone any more).

I have one 32GB SD class 6 for the same price I paid for the 16GB MicroSDHC class 2.

You need to use a adapter for the Micro to Mini which many times have bad connections,

I use my tablet every day and waiting for the class 2 micro compared to the 32GB class 6 is major to me.

I have had 3 Micro SD fail completely and no SD card failures

When 16Gb Micro SD class 4 to 6 is available they will be expensive.

When a 32GB micro SD card is available it will be expensive.

When a 32GB Micro SD card is available it will be class 2 to 4.

I do not like being held hostage by companies who release crappy products and make you pay big prices for them then release better products a months later for even more money.
So I try to improve my odds of having what I want when ever I can. I like the tablet but the original 8 GB version was useless for me since I already had a 48GB N800. Now I use it every day.

Also as mentioned today I started this project before you could buy 16GB class 2 micro SDHC.

Also the memory mod was not the only thing I made this for. I want a camera and a tilt sensor, a flash drive and several other mods. The metal cover opens up the tablet for many upgrades.

It is also easier to hold and type on with the metal case

I can go on but I think you get the picture.

I have already sold the metal case to others that are making their own mods, which includes a larger SD card capacity and a phone card.

It is not for everybody but for the people who have already purchased it they love it so far.

So for anyone who still want it there are some left. Once the metal covers are gone there will not be any more

Thanks to all the already purchased.
