Important note to all buyers of flash cards - SD especially. Avoid higest speed cards as they are less reliable. Just go for normal speed.

You dont want to end up snapping pics and then finding them corrupted later.

Also do not buy the higest capacity SD/MMC cards as well as they too suffer similar problems. Best capacity is 512 MB at the moment, but most 1 GB should be ok. Stay away from 2 - 4 GB for the moment.

Brands that have proven reliable include SanDisk, Transcend, Kingston, PQI, PenDrive among others.

Lifetime Warranty doesnt mean the product will last your lifetime. It means thats it is warranted for only as long as the product is still being manufactured. Which could mean as short as 3 months, as most products have a shorter life cycle in the market, these days.

Better to have even 1 year warranty as opposed to "Lifetime Warranty". Most sales personnel will be telling you otherwise, as most of them haven't got a clue what that actually means.

Please also note more than 75% of the sales personnel at the PC Fair do not know anything about what they are selling. A lot of them were recruited just for the show. So do not depend on them for answers, or trust their expertise.
