Problem solved.
Granted the 32Gb cards will be very expensive, I still find them better for storage solutions provided speed is not sacraficed.
(Yes I also use the NAS solution for stuff however my ISP blocks more ports everyday, making is less then easy to access it when I really need to.)

Am I the only one still utterly amazed at the raw capacity on devices nowadays?
Seriously, 48GB is huuuuuge, my first hard drive was 240MB and lasted me ages, the 48 is more than my laptop and for me will be plenty for a long time.
I know people need more, but its still amazing at how far we have come.

The first harddisk I had on a PC clone was 20MB, which was a lot then but it failed before I could fill it up. A couple of years later I got a machine with 40MB disk, but that one filled up so quickly that the machine was useless after a couple of months. Now I have a computer with storage nearly 2TB, I expect it to fill up quickly. And a million times (literally) more memory than the first IBM PC. Way way more than any of the predictions from a decade or two back, including those from such as Neil Stephenson and William Gibson

The SDHC standard manages cards big as 32GB.
So any device/OS that is able to manage cards bigger than the 4GB ones should be able to manage the 32 GB also.

No, the original SDHC standard allows up to 32GB, with the number of 'address bits' specified (16). The Linux kernel checks up to 22 bits (2TB), so if there were any cards of that type they would be usable. But there may never be any (could be SDXC instead).

Problem solved.
In addition to that, she is probably not going to go with an expensive 3g data plan. She's just going to stick her T-mob sim card in the N900 and keep her existing no-data plan. At the most she might consider one of the $10/mo data options if T-Mobile let's her do that.
My feeling is that the NAS option won't appeal to her. But a 32GB micro SD card would probably be OK. She would prefer having all her music on one memory card (instead of split between the internal memory and the micro SD card). She has 60 GB of music right now.
I'm just sharing the feedback she is giving me. I'm hoping she gets an N900 (so we'll have 2 in the family).

When the N900 is connected to a computer via USB (or wireless), is all the (non system) storage visible at once?
In other words, can you see both the built in 32 GB and the micro SD card and copy files to/from both of these areas?
I would expect that when I plug it in to the computer via USB, I would see two mounted drives, one being the internal 32 GB and the other being the microSD card.
I have a feeling this is a dumb question, but I need to make sure I know the answer rather than assume it. Thanks.
