Can you download anything from the internet or website using the built in 32GB internal memory storage or this 32gb internal memory is for storage of songs and videos?

You have to forgive these poor souls who have been crippled by iphone thinking where you can't save a file from the internet or really use the storage for anything but songs and videos.

Yes, the storage on the n900 is totally user accessible as far as I know

Apparently there is about 28 gigs available for media. There is no such thing as 32 gb in the first place since format parameters eat almost one gig. This is true for all cards and drives.

Slightly off topic.

The specs and reports always say "up to 16 GB of additional storage with an external microSD card".

Is 16GB a limit for microSD? It'd be much better to think of the expandibility increasing with changing technology, ie bigger and cheaper microSD cards.

Pulled straight from a wikipedia article on SDHC cards:

as of version 2.00 of the specification, the capacity of an SDHC card is limited to 32 GB. However, while not strictly adhering to that standard, it is in principle possible to create SDHC-like cards of up to 2048 GB capacity
The 'up to 2048 GB' format has been marketed as SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacity) with the only cards available, again according to wikipedia, being in 32GB and 64GB capacities.

I can't see any reason why microSD cards wouldn't be able to be manufactured as SDXC variants.

Given the looooong time between 16gb and 32gb, my guess is we will using holographic or mirror based tech by then

They still can not make 32gb chips in efficient yields to keep the cost affordable- high failure rate. This is the main reason for the delay.

It is, however, FAT formatted so it's not perfectly usable as a Linux /home directory or an rsync backup of your laptop.
