SD Card issue (funny read)

Postby Wiredbomb0 on Fri Jul 03, 2009 2:07 pm

While I was out this evening, I headed over to JB-Hi-Fi (electronics store in Australia) to go pick up a SD card, and I thought that I should get one, cause Lingux is coming along nicely (and I wanted to get some of the action). So I go over to the Camera section, and find a 8gb SDHC card (about $40.00, which I thought was pretty far considering a 8gb USB would cost about $100). So, I thought I would ask the guyy to see if it would work (cause of the device being non-mainstream).

[Funny story]
When I asked him would it fit into: (showed him the dingoo) he replied with:
"What is this. Is this a PSP?" (in an indian accent)
I thought to myself, well a PSP is black, a little larger, has a couple of control sticks, so OBVIOUSLY it isn't a PSP.
[/Funny story]

As he got a demo SD card and tried to put it in and...

...that card didn't fit! The actual card didn't physically fit inside the slot on the bottom of the Dingoo. As the specs said, it could support up to 8gb SDHC cards (and unoffically 16gb micro sd using a micro to mini sd adapter).

So what the hell is going?

(And don't I feel like a retard. The dingoo supports 'mini'sd so yeah, problem solved! Just wanted you guys to know this!)

I hate to say it, but you got ripped off, 8GB microSDHC is about $20 + $5 for adapter on amazon(even cheaper on DX).

don't forget that australian $ is about 77 cents US, so it's not that bad.
