I went to Eldersburg and Westminster yesterday 
looking for an SD memory card that will fit my ZipIt. 
No luck at Wal-Mart and Target. Didn't get to ck 
Radio Shack. I guess I must order from Target.com 
/ Amazon.com and wait for the snail mail all over 
again. Rich, the ZipIt owner's manual clearly states 
the unit requires a MINI-SD memory card, which is 
an odd size between SD and micro-SD. But it 
does NOT say anything about a size limitation 
(SteveB: where did you get your 2GB information?) 
so I am inclined to order a 4GB Mini-SD, or a 4GB 
Micro-SD in a Mini-SD adapter card. That's where 
I'm at at the moment.

P.S. For those McHUG folks who haven't heard, Steve 
showed off his converted ZipIt wireless module, $49 
from Target.com, now running Linux and X-Windows 
(How Cool!) at last Monday's Carroll Co. ARC meeting. 
Try it. You'll like it! (And let's convert them together!) 
Steve may have more details about the ZipIt to share.
