I believe the included card was a 8gb class 2 I didnt really pay it much attention just popped it out and popped in my 16gb from my Hero. I left the card at home in Columbus while visiting the parents in Cleveland I'll double check and post if its different when I get home today

I prefer a higher class when transferring large files, like movies, between my EVO & PC.

Very true about the class system, but without having available benchmarks for each individual brand/size of card out there, the only thing we have to go by is the class... Or we can all buy the class 10 card and just not worry about it! No food for the kid this week, daddy needs a fast memory card!
