[QUOTE=griffonwing;519322]I think the GB size isn't the real issue, but how fast the unit can access a filled card. If it chugs along at a snails pace while accessing an 8gb, then they rate it as supporting a 4gb.

Maybe the pocketpro can access a filled up 16gb releatively quickly, but turtles at a filled 32. Hence they rate it as supporting a 16gb.

I've been thinking about that, actually. Just wondering if a higher (faster) class card would make any difference but it also depends on the device's ability to read from/write to speeds as well. Class 6 = 6mb/sec, Class 4 = 4mb/sec and Class 2 = 2mb/sec. The current 2gb card included with the reader is Class 4.
