I emailed Kingston on this as it wasn't on their web site. They said they don't make an 8Gb miniSD. The largest is 1Gb. So it's either not Kingston (most likely) or not 8gb.

According to the web site posted by gemniii42 it is likely genuine. I bought three of these from Meritline and they have been fine.
The guy at Kingston said the following about the Focalprice 8gb card:
"The miniSD card that this vendor has displayed on their website is actually a 1GB miniSD card. Kingston does not have a 1GB miniSD card because this product has become discontinued."
If you look for price info on the 4gb miniSDHC card you get the following:
We're sorry The part you selected, , is not attached to any particular system. It's possible that the part has been discontinued or the part number you entered was typed in incorrectly.

Strangely I could not find any miniSD/SDHC cards with the search I did on their site. This page appeared to show all their 'mobile' cards: http://www.kingston.com/flash/village/mobile.asp

So who knows?
I too had a heck of a time finding that page, they are probably discontinued, that happens when I buy stuff.
Yeah, and dfinch found an 8gb minisd. That's odd honestly, because it wasn't long after I got the n810 (a couple months ago) that I went looking and all I ever found was 2gb maximum in a minisd format. I couldn't find a single sliver of MiniSD SDHC anything. And believe me, I looked.
But since a lot of my stuff was already running on either SD or MicroSD, and the n810 was the only device I had that requried MiniSD, I decided that it wasn't worth having a card around that only worked in one device. So I got a Micro to MiniSD adapter and just called it good. Especially since I could get 8gb MicroSD SDHC cards pretty readily.
Speaking of which, I need to locate a couple 16gb and 32gb MicroSD cards too. ^_^;;
