Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade my 1 gig sd card to 8 or 16 gigs.

What's the difference between Micro SD and Micro SDHC?

Amazon has a good deal on a 16 gig Micro SD but it doesn't say that it's for the G1.  It just looks the same.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks.

SDHC is the same thing as SD but HC stands for High Capacity, usually indicated for sizes 4GB and up.

Any MicroSD card should work on the G1.

Thanks for the info!

BTW, what's Class 2?

It's how fast information the information can be written onto the memory card, kind of like CD-R's, where they have 16X, 32X speeds. Here it is for memory cards:

SDHC Class 2: 2MB/sec

SDHC Class 4: 4MB/sec

SDHC Class 6: 6MB/sec
