resolved. For the record
1. Mini sd, 2gig, sandisk. Fried while downloading a podcast via wifi
2. 4gig sandisk ultra sd. Transferred a few movies to it, didnt really use it much. Week later it was greyed out
3 and 4 were cheapie 2gig sandisk sd cards that i picked up 2 days ago. Fried both
within an hour after transferring mp3s via wifi from orb server on my wifi lan.
Tried formatting all of them on windows, dos, n800 and with panasonic tool afterwards. No go. No more.
Show of hands: Could readers who have had no problems please report in on which cards they use? I seem to get the idea no faulty Kingstons have been reported? All my failures were sandisk, but then again thats all i've tried, and my one success is a 1g mimi sd sandisk that just keeps on going.

I am using 2 Kingston 4GB SDHC cards for about 4 weeks now. No problems.

One is used to hold maps for MM. The other is used to hold MP3s, and as swap.
