Sandisk 32GB Micro SD Deal, $57

Just keep in mind that when the storage space goes up and yet the card remains Class 2, this means that access to that storage will likely be slower, hence the great price. I already notice that with the standard Class 2 16GB, with tons of apps on the SD card, the icons are a little slow to load on bootup. I'm not expert on storage media but I've always been under the assumption that when data is written to storage it is written in random locations (fragmentation) therefor it comes down to how fast that data can be read regardless of where it is.

Imagine you're in a room trying to find specific hidden easter eggs within a reasonable amount of time with a reasonable amount of knowledge where they might be, then you double the size of the room.

Class speed of SD cards has nothing to do with read speed. It only measures writes.

Size of the card doesn't matter in this regard either. A class 2 card will write at class 2 throughout the full space of the card.
