MicroSD Card Shortage? (Part 2)

Some time ago I blogged about the apparant shortage of MicroSD (Transflash) memory cards.

Over the past few months supplies of 512mb and 1gb cards have started to come through slowly, however, prices have remained high.

I have spoken with a number of resellers that I regularly deal with about the lack of MicroSD cards. I’ve been told that the shortage is not limited to Europe now, and despite orders being placed stock is only coming though in limited numbers.

To make matters worse, there are allegedly a lot of counterfeit cards being sold on sites like eBay etc. What’s more, the copies are hard to spot.

Have you got a 2gb microSD? If so where did you get it and how much did you pay? Please share the knowledge with other readers! 🙂
