I bought a Kingston 2G SD card yesterday. It passed the fill-test and the Reader enumerates the files properly.

Caveat: I discovered music files mixed in with my fill-test MP3s that were not MP3s. They have since been replaced. The Reader will not enumerate them. This may explain some of the questionable results I had earlier about the Connect software and the Reader not cataloging correctly. At this point I am confident that 2G cards can work properly.

I am also quite sure 4G cards will not be completely addressed in the reader and that they will fail in the Connect software if they are filled to > 2G. The 4G cards listed as OK in the wiki page should be fill-tested or moved to the "Working with Restrictions" section of the page.

This latest Kingston SD card has holographic stickers on it and has a number to call (in China) to verify authenticity. The other three Kingston cards came with no such sticker and are probably knock-offs. I will mark the wiki page accordingly.

The Kingston 2G SD card cost about US$22 from a dealer I trust.
