I did a little experimenting and thought I would pass along my "results"
I bought a PNY 32Gig Class 4 memory card for my Airpad - It benchmarks out on my PC at 4.5 megs per second - but it benchmarks out on the Airpad at 6.5 mps. (nice)
I then upgraded to a 32 gig Class 10 Lexar High Speed Micro SD card for Tablets - which benchmarks on my pc at 10 mps, but at ONLY 5-6.5mps on the Airpad!
So what does this tell me? Since the cards are performing to spec on my laptop - I would say that the Airpads External TF slot is not capable of speeds much greater than 6-6.5mps.
So save your money - don't waste it on a class 10.
FYI - Class and then # = #mps.
-- So class 4 is rated at 4mps, 6 = 6mps, 10=10mps
These are all "Write speeds" as read speeds are always much faster.
As far as in your hand performance - I ddon't notice a difference between the 2 cards on read-write operations like copying files.---
Post your own results please

On that note: one further question -
the XL lists "sdcard" as if there is an actual SD card in the unit of 5 gig,
and Extern_SD which is the card you slide in from the side.
Is there actuall a regular Micro SD card sitting in a slot INSIDE the XL pad?
Can that be swapped out for a faster larger one?
Just curious.

There is an internal 6gb flash drive. During the firmware installation it is partitioned into a 1gb drive for storing apps and 5gb for additional storage and to move apps to. This is why when you load a new firmware you lose your apps and data.
