No, i won't hold my breath, but "years away" is a bit over the top..?
Sometime 1st half 2011 should be more likely i think..

Everyone just s'up for a minute.
Wether you buy locally or through ebay/web, please test your cards. This is for your own protection, know what you bought. SD cards can be shown to have let's say 32GB, but infact have 1GB because those memory cards have bad sectors. What happens is you can still continue writing into the card but the old data get pushed into the bad sectors and are lost forever. Meaning you can lose something precious. I think companies QC their products and the rejects end-up in a pile to be recycled, and employees sneak some of the defectives into their pockets, take them home and profit majorly on the internet.
This is now very common, I am doing my test as I speak, because I think I've been scammed. If you voice your problems, at least someone can have a look at it and the sellers can own up to their responsibility.
here's the link:

I hope some people here show up with bad results, not because I wish them to be scammed, but so because they would be wise with managing their data (and not to lose it, especially if its for your work which can cost you thousands or even your job) and also that they might fight back and get their money back and even if they don't, so they'll raise awareness so someone else won't be scammed and the theives be stopped.

Cheap eBay microsd does the same job as the one you'll find in stores, for a fraction of the price.
I'm using a microsd 16gb bought on eBay for 35$ and it works like a charm.
There are only a handful of flash chip manufacturers, and they all sell under their own brand. The only way to get a memory card cheaper than the market price for raw chips is to buy a defect or manipulated memory card.
Here, do some reading.

Also, what is wrong with partitioning? Not that it's needed:
The following limitations exist using the FAT32 file system with Windows operating systems:
- Clusters cannot be 64 kilobytes (KB) or larger. If clusters were 64 KB or larger, some programs (such as Setup programs) might calculate disk space incorrectly.
- A volume must contain at least 65,527 clusters to use the FAT32 file system. You cannot increase the cluster size on a volume using the FAT32 file system so that it ends up with less than 65,527 clusters.
- The maximum possible number of clusters on a volume using the FAT32 file system is 268,435,445. With a maximum of 32 KB per cluster with space for the file allocation table (FAT), this equates to a maximum disk size of approximately 8 terabytes (TB).
Mass storage allows for bigger cluster size, so, why exactly no dice?
Oh, and, that document is for limitations in Windows 2000, 10 years ago 8 TB was considered "fine".
