This thread is a good place to gather info, but just saying that we use the card and don't have problems might not be very useful. More helpful would be the specific way the card is used and whether or not a problem has been noticed.

For example, I had been using Newsbreak set to store RSS channel data on the card with auto-updating on every 5 hours. With this set-up I'd been getting SD card corruption a couple times a day.

I stopped using Newsbreak and turned off auto-updating and the problem hasn't (cross-fingers) happened since.

I don't blame Newsbreak for causing the corruption, but it seems that anything that does a lot of writing of many small files (or perhaps writing to the card while the device is suspended?) might trigger a problem inherent in the phone's SD driver or cache. Just having apps installed to the card might not be enough to trigger anything.
