Good morning everyone.
I have been working with SanDisk and Arrow Electronics to source the SD
Cards you've spec'd for the Fedora on OLPC project.
If anyone would like to test on the OEM version[1] of the cards, I can
mail them to you at cost. So $30US. I'll pay the postage.
~Karlie
[1] - Why is OEM important? When any sort of flash memory is produced
there are minute differences with the internal structure. For this
project we'll need to use an OEM part which ensures that we have the
same card structure with every SD we send through the duplicator.
Retail packaged cards do not have a consistent internal structure which
can cause quality issues with a duplication run.
It's not that retail is inferior quality, but for day to day use (in a
camera, phone or other application) write tolerances don't need to be as
precise.
7:35 a.m.
I'm submitting the first purchase order for test cards this morning
though it's not too late to get testers. I can continue to order in
batches right up until the production quantity arrives.
To make things easier, I've added the cards to our shopping cart [1],
though feel free to email me directly as we can do orders manually too.

Did you order some extras? I just got my XO, and am having weird
issues with the Extreme III cards that I have for it that I want to
verify will not be a problem on a production run
(http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2008-November/msg00445.html).
Clicking the link to the store led to nothing.

No I didn't. I only ordered what was requested. However, I will be
getting the first batch of cards for the production Run on the 19th
though it will probably be too late to try it then.
