Do you have to format a brand new card? I've always just put them in the unit and they worked.
Exactly!!! When I buy a new card off the shelf, I just put it in the card slot and it works automatically. Seems I also read something about formatting the card when I got my first Cuddeback, but I just ignored it, and put the card in anyway. Worked like a charm.
My suggestion...take the 4GB card back and swap it out for (2) 1GB cards and use the extra money to buy some McDonald's.
