I don't have one of these, but I would think it would be the same as cameras--it all depends upon the resolution and size of the picture you take.
Here's a chart I found showing the recording time for a 32gb SDHC card at different settings:
Average recording times (using 32GB SD card):
- 1080p (30 fps): 4h 21m
- 960p (30 fps): 5h 26m
- 720p (60 fps): 4h 21
- 720p (30 fps): 8h 09m
- WVGA (60 fps): 8h 09m
With the cost of SD cards pretty cheap now, I'd put the 4gb in a DSLR or point-n-shoot and at least double that size for your video. I recently picked up an 8gb Class 6 SDHC card from Fry's on sale for $15.00. Shop around since they're always going on sale.
Bigbarrels,
I was just reading an article that stated the older ones had a maximum of 4gb, after a firmware upgrade. At 32gb, the new ones have the largest capacity of this type of video camera. Time to upgrade!

From the same article: "The previous GoPros only shot at a 512x384 but the new GoPro HD Heros offer a range of high def options and frame rates.
1080p = 1920x1080 pixels (16:9), 30 fps, 15 Mbit/s data rate
960p = 1280x960 pixels (4:3), 30 fps, 12 Mbit/s data rate
720p = 1280x720 pixels (16:9), 60 fps, 15 Mbit/s data rate
720p = 1280x720 pixels (16:9), 30 fps, 8 Mbit/s data rate
WVGA = 848x480 pixels (16:9), 60 fps, 8 Mbit/s data rate "
Therefore, your one hour of record time for 2gb is not the same for the newer models.
