Quick questions about SDHC... I haven't been paying that much attention, but I haven't seen anything in the news that really explains why SDHC seems to have stagnated.
The last time I bought one was a 16GB Transcend Class 6 in 10/2008 for $34.50. When I look at Dealram.com, that's actually a couple dollars less than the best generic pricing on the market at present. IIRC, 32GB SDHCs were already out then, and not only have they not come down in cost, there are few/no 64GB models on the market yet.
Now I think part of the issue is the claimed price fixing in the flash memory market, and part of the issue is probably also the tremendous drain on the market from smartphone manufacturing... am I missing anything?
I'd really like a 32GB, but not for even more than they cost a year ago. Should I just get another 16GB whenever I see a good sale deal?
