Bad Cards 
I also have two of these cards. They have multiple read/right failures and are not recognized by computers (tested on 4 separate systems). The cards only seem to work in my camera and pictures can only be transferred through connecting the camera to a computer. I tried them in my Garmin nuvi 360 and one actually was recognized but when trying to transfer mp3s the same read/right/recognition problems occurred.
Do not buy these junk cards!
two 4GB SDHC cards, two intermittent read/write failures - stay away 
UPDATE: PNY was very responsive in exchanging both SD cards under warranty. I contacted them by email (the only way), they asked for more information, then sent me a return authorization.
The entire process took a couple of weeks, but I'm happy to report that the new cards seem to work properly.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I purchased the (very competitively-priced) 2-pack of 4GB PNY Class-4 Optima cards for my Canon A570 IS digital camera and Garmin nuvi 360. BOTH cards have failed with intermittent read/write errors. Despite low-level format (FAT32) both cards continue to exhibit errors.
Interestingly, the 4GB SDHC Class 4 Kingston cards I own work perfectly in both devices.
Perhaps I got a bad batch, but given two failures, I would not recommend this card.
