Should people be buying SD Media or CF cards when theirs takes both types?

Also a lot of CF cards are branded by Speed ie. 25X etc

What should you be looking for to run well with a Ipaq 2210?

Thanks

Right now CF cards are still better than SD cards. And surprisingly they are cheaper, too...

Only if your CF slot is blocked (by a CF GPS for example) you would need to retreat to SD cards. Try to avoid Sandisk cards - those are known to be trouble makers.

Elsewhere on the net is a very thorough card speed comparison site. Can't find the link right now.

With SD cards, a lot of brands are actually relabelled Sandisk, which makes avoiding Sandisk pretty tricky (though worthwhile).

SimpleTech and Panasonic brands shouldn't be Sandisk; I think Toshiba is unlikely to be Sandisk also. Beyond that, it might be pot luck.
