If you look closely at the picture, it's a 128x2 stick.

Does that mean you have to flip a switch or something to access the other 128mb? If so then I'll wait for the pro sticks.

You gotta flip a switch, which means taking it out and putting it back in again...

That sucks. Might as well stick with 2 of 128MB MSs which you can get around $52 ($26 each) that are being offered in Amazon.

Unless you have one of the latest Clie devices (TG50 or NZ) the pro sticks will not work!

So the 128x2 is a means to carry more memory with fewer sticks, even though you do have to remove the card and flip a switch. It still beats carrying two seperate 128MB sticks around.

It's still more expensive though.

AWS, the Pro only works on the NZ with a patch. Sony has said that it will work on the NX with the same patch.

I just read a review of the TG50 a couple days ago that it would be able to use the Pro with a patch too.

After all the issues others had with some of the lexar sticks, I don't think i would be willing to try something even a LITTLE more complicated than a basic MS from them

I guess you are the lucky 70%.&nbsp; I remember GeekGod mentioned in another thread about 1 out of 3 Lexar MSs were returned to his store so he quit carrying the products.

I, for one, had a couple problems with Lexar MS. Purchased 128MB one from Dell. It was a dud. Dell sent me another one as an exchange and that second one was also bad. I returned both and got full refunds, including shipping. Obviously Dell agreed that they were bad. I'm not sure if Dell still carrying Lexar MSs after all the problem they have with the returns.

Currently I have 5 MSs (2 from Sony and 3 from SanDisk). A couple of them have been with me for 18 month w/o any problem. One is used as the main MS that contains games, apps, books, dictionaries, maps, RAM backups, database, etc. It backs up the RAM automatically everyday for the last 12 months and it is still humming. I wouldn't trust to use Lexar brand for this type storage.

I don't mind to try Lexar again for MP3 storage though or any other low risk storage, as long as the price is right, like the $6 deal that I read in another thread. I guess we wouldn't know if the deal is valid though until the buyers get both rebate checks/MS from Lexar, 6-8 weeks from now. However, if Lexar only accept one rebate/MS, that means it still cost around $26-27. For that price I just wait for another SanDisk deal that I got last Christmas.
