Great review! Hit all the areas that a multifunction device user needs info on. Sounds like a good device but not enough better than the Q7 to tempt!
Now, that A81 does send a shiver through my wallet though... |

This 2GB MicroSD is the only MicroSD I have right now. I'm going to look around for another one, but I think Rana is correct. This device may not support SDHC. |

I read my JE100 primarily in the dark. And I've turned the brightness all the way down. That way, I find it a perfect brightness to read in a dark bedroom. It's darker than my Loox720 PDA. |

Rana, Thanks for the suggestion. I never thought about the SDHC thing. I will order a non-SDHC one from Meritline. I have ordered from them before and I have had great experiences. Ellen |

I was just over at Eletroworld and they too are now selling the JE100. Their price is 199.99. But then again it would be a longer shipping time as well as expensive shipping.

It does not appear on the web site you linked to. Anyone know where to purchase this in the US?

CyGuy - The guy who owns the store ColdSun mentioned, is running a few ebay auctions for the JE100. You may want to contact him directly.
I am not sure if he has any in stock right now, but he will likely do a bulk order if there is enough interest. I will contact him and see if he would like to directly post here. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=250516552528 |

NB. The max capacity of an Std SD card is 2GB, so if this device supports 4GB cards then it must be SDHC capable.
Rather than bin/not use cards that initially appear not to work on a device give this prog a try as it is specifically written for formatting SD/SDHC cards. It made one of my non compatible (with Linux on my Q7) SDHC cards work again after several failed attempts using the Std Windows formatter. http://panasonic.jp/support/global/c...formatter.html Last edited by Nation.A.List; 10-27-2009 at 03:58 PM. |

There are 4gb SD cards that are non-SDHC that work in most non-HC devices. Here is one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820163159 There are lots of reviews on that page. Most people found the 4GB card worked, even in older devices. But as you can see it's not cheap. Last edited by CyGuy; 10-27-2009 at 05:28 PM. |

Yes, there are 4GB SD cards that are NOT SDHC. I have one of those. I think 4GB is the max size though ... and that too, those are rare. If you go any higher in size, it has to be SDHC.
Anyway, CyGuy (and others), Meritline has - what looks like - a Lexar MicroSD 4GB card that is not SDHC. I have ordered one of these last night (and looks like Ellen ordered one as well). So we will be able to confirm soon. See the link in my post above. UPDATE: Here is the obligatory Wikipedia reference that confirms that 4GB is the only size where SD and SDHC cards overlap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital Last edited by rana; 10-27-2009 at 05:55 PM.

Hi ColdSun,
What about the weight of JE100? I see it is 900g in the eletroworld website, but you mention is only 250g. |
