Not a long review here; just some comments.
These M+ cards are, in practical usage, about the same speed as Type H XD cards. The maximum capacity for them is unchanged: 1 to 2 gB per card. They are shaped the same, look the same, and Olympus claims that they will work in "nearly all" available XD compatible devices.
Subjectively, I am seeing more and more Type M+ and far fewer Type H cards in retail stores for reasonable prices, but functionally they seem like the same item. I am using one 1 gB Type H, one 2 gB Type H, and two 2 gB Type M+; if there is a difference, I cannot detect it.
If you want to check your camera's compatibility with M+ cards, use the Olympus list found here: [...]

If you have an Olympus camera, you unfortunately need an Olympus brand card to unlock some features such as the panorama functionality. This isn't a technical limitation (technically all brands cards are the same) but the camera looks at the serial # on the card to know if it's Olympus brand or not.
Since it's an "Type H" card, it's fast enough for high quality video on most cameras. 640x480 to be exact, which is pretty much SD. It's actually surprisingly good on my camera. You can get about 20min on a 2GB card.
The M+ is faster than the regular M cards, and cheaper than the H. Not to mention it's available in 2GB (which I haven't seen much of for the H version in the US). Making it a pretty good buy.
The M+ is clearly the better buy of the xd-Picture cards... though xd-Picture is somewhat inferior to other card formats. But unless you buy a new camera you can't do much about that.
Make sure your camera is compatible with M+ (most 2GB M and H compatible cameras are fine) by checking on the camera manufacturer's website. Even if your camera's older than the M+ cards, it will likely still work.

Works fine. The "plus" is faster than standard M cards. Shooting RAW images at 6M, used a stopwatch, retesting three or more times per card my (averaged) results are as follows:
M (1GB) FUJIFILM made in Japan 0:07:89
M+(2GB) OLYMPUS made by Toshiba in Japan 0:06:00
M (1GB) FUJIFILM made in Japan 0:07:89
M+(2GB) OLYMPUS made by Toshiba in Japan 0:06:00

It's fast!
This card saves pictures significantly faster than the standard xD card that came with my camera. The "high speed" really makes a difference. Very happy with this card.

Olympus M+ 2 GB xD Picture Card
This has worked great for over a year now. This card allowed my wife's camera to utilize additional features (panoramic pictures). I am happy with my choice to get this card.

Got the item immediately and it works well with my Olympus Stylus 600. Compared to the prices in the store, this is a deal!
