BTW - (I have this very 8gb card)... The photos aren't very fast to load on PSP. Photos are about 2.5mb. Do ya'll suspect this is the card speed on this ProDuo or is it a PSP issue... you see the same issue?

in my experience, photos are best resized before transferring to the PSP (for speed). I use a regular Sandisk 2GB, fwiw. I doubt the card read speed would be a major factor. I think the bottleneck is the PSP itself.

It'd be related to the memory stick. Try getting a mark 2/ultra 2 or greater.

I must have misinterpreted what you wrote. By 'load' I thought you meant view on the PSP itself. Writing to the card itsef? Yeah, some of the faster ones have faster write speeds.
The PSP is sort of slow shuffling through the pics the bigger they are, and 'adds detail' to the pics one second after displaying the initial pic, as you probably know. I find that annoying and only found an improvement going through pics (speed-wise) after they were resized.

It's a shame Sandisk/Sony still charge around double for these things compared to SD. Has anyone gone into the reason why? :)

it's Sony's propitiatory format.
Sandisk and Lexar probably license it from Sony.
I believe SD is an open format.
More Manufacturers, lower prices.

joey,
yeah it was more of a rhetorical question. SD (and derivatives) are not an open format, but are more popular, and we all know there's some nice price-gouging going on with Sony's format.
Sandisk regular 8GB goes for $25 USD. Now how they can justify over double is beyond me. Must be all that piracy they need to control :p

Amazing, if they're not taking a loss on this, then this is very good news. The 8GB memory stick could become cheap enough so that sony could start using the same technology to create some sort of flash storage for the psp2 instead of UMD. It would be great because it would take up less space, faster load times and longer battery life.
