Accessories Micro SD Card

Would this card work for the Xoom?

New sandisk 32GB TF Card 32GB Micro SD SDHC MicroSDHC - eBay (item 260757136990 end time Mar-29-11 13:21:02 PDT)

I am lining up the proper accessories under the assumption I buy the wifi model on Sunday. I know the SD card slot does not work yet, and will not a few more months maybe. Just trying to line it all up now is all. Has anyone bought a micro SD card for their Xoom yet? What did you get?

On a related note - why the heck can't Moto enable the SD card? Just curious. Seems like an odd thing to delay.

be wary of cards from fleabay sellers. the seller has ZERO feedback. i dont care if this seller sold a million of these, i would not purchase from that seller at all.

the specs of the card are acceptable if those are indeed for that particular card.

Thanks for pointing out the seller issue. I was not focused on that. I was focusing on if the item was correct. I also have a personal rule of not buying from new sellers until they have at least 100 feedbacks.

I don't mind eBay to buy this kind of stuff. But I look for name brand, new, and seller reputation before pushing the buy button. But I figure I might save $15 on an item like this which is good for me.

Thanks!

id smoke over amazon first before i go to fleabay for SD cards. just too much that can go wrong with SD cards there. im going to just purchase one direct from VZW once the xooms slot opens for business..

All SD Cards to good to believe on eBay are. They are Chinese knock offs with software that makes a 4GB card look like it has 32GB memory.

OK - So - buying one of these on eBay does seem risky. I dug into the feedback for a few sellers that *looked* like they might be legit, and saw a few comments about how they were fake.

So - for a legit source - is this about the best price you guys have seen:
Amazon.com: SanDisk 32GB microSDHC Memory Card (Bulk Package): Electronics

I tend to stick with Sandisk memory card simply because I have had suck good luck with them. But if someone has had better experience with another brand I would like to hear about it.

I like to stick with Sandisk. They actually own the patents on flash media, from what I understand.
I did buy a Kingston 8 gb SD for my camera that serves me well. I know the brand from RAM I had bought for two laptop upgrades.
