DO NOT WANT.
SDHC already is naturally extendable to 2TB, but standardizing on the proprietary exFAT is just evil; FAT32 works up to 2TB, and exFAT has no real compatibility. (Platforms are Windows CE, Vista, and NT7 only.)

Yes, but FAT64 can store bigger files than FAT32. Is it going to be popular? Not yet...

Yeah, I went by the SD working group's booth and ran across a LOT of information on this. It actually looks quite promising IMHO. 
Sure, it won't be normal drives for data access speed, but my gawds, imagine the long term storage possibilities in a very, very tiny form factor.
I've got the press release on this if you guys want anymore details beyond what the register gave. I also find it odd that they got out the info on this so quickly as I didn't even see them there. Saw Reuters, BBC, Engadget and lots of others, but no Register guys.

. . . imagine the long term storage possibilities in a very, very tiny form factor.
Mostly, this just seems like a good way to alienate a lot of your market, put money into Microsoft's pockets and further confuse consumers.

What type of FS will we move to though? Ext2?

Either way, it makes me sick to think that you'll have to license something from Microsoft to use a "standard".

Anybody else up for 4 Terabytes of storage in an N800?
Might have to sell the house to afford them though....
