SD card speeds....

I dont really care about write speeds, or even load speeds, really. I just want to make sure the card can stream divx and mp3 off of it without buffering problems. Is this a problem, with even the slowest cards?

Thanks

I've used a few cards and have never noticed any experienced any buffering problems.

If the card bears the SD logo then it should conform to the specs and you shouldn't see any problems caused by the card.

While SD is a standard, there are various speeds of SD cards. Some cards perform (read/write speeds) much much better then others (they are actually rated... 32x, 60x, etc). Speed is a problem when it comes to digital photography, because a cheap/slow SD card can take much much longer to write/save a picture. This has the same effect in a smartphone when installing and running software, as well as accessing files from the card. When playing back video or mp3, it buffers small parts of the file at a time, much like videos and other files are buffered on your computer to keep the hdd from spinning constantly. I was just questing whether the slower (read cheaper) SD cards suffer from any noticable illeffects from this.

Nope, Never had a problem with slow cards, I think even the slowest is faster than the phone can read/write at so gettinhg a faster one will have no effect at all.
