The question becomes what the Linux community will do regarding SDXC.
Technically, a kernel patch would allow the N900 to support them, but the issue then falls over to MS pushing the patent-riddled ExFat as the standard filesystem.

But we're not sure yet of the electrical interface. At least there's 100MHz involved, which a kernel patch can't solve. But it could be that the cards may work in slower mode with the lower frequency of our hardware.

from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SDXC#SDXC
SDHC devices will only support the SDXC cards which use UHS104 speeds;[31] SDHC devices will not recognize the SDXC cards which use the faster (SD 4.0), final-spec of SDXC.[43]
which may imply only 32GB sdxc card support... which is probably going to be a PITA if it was like those 4GB SD vs SDHC cards.
