  • Incompatibility with the Android Linux kernel. A lot of cards simply crash and burn hard because of a strange quirk in reported timing vs. actual timing and the way the SD driver is written... You simply need to know that most cards don't work, and you'll be able to tell because you'll see a bunch of errors during the Android install.

Thanks for the clarification.

My point was that a Sandisk Class 2 will also work fine - it's what I've been using and what a lot of other people use. I've had no problems with it.

No need to hunt up the apparently rarer Class 4.
