As of today, 5th of July 2008, the cheapest 4GB SDHC card is priced at S$25 from Sim Lim Square. When I saw this promotion for Lexar™ Platinum II 4GB SDHC with free SDHC card reader at S$24.90. I knew it was a deal not to be missed, cheaper than getting a branded card with limited warranty from reputed shop in Sim Lim Square. Nothing beats having more storage capacity by the side.

More Bangs for the Bucks than the generic DEXS SDHC Card Reader!
No wonder Laurens wanted me to score another piece for him to use as a thumbdrive substitute.
Glad to have scored the remaining pieces!
