In the IGG campaign there is now one claim for the Jolla tablet 'StarterKit' perk (kit of 20 tablets). Neat!

Jolla can take another approach. Just charge the user who wants exFAT support some $XYZ, and then pay to M$ whatever they are asking already. Not exact, but at least it makes it optional and Jolla can adjust that price periodically to even out the difference.
In this case I think they have to choose exFAT or not exFAT on all devices since it low volumes we talk about.
But for me most important question is what stable filesystem works best on optimized for flash memory without corruption. If there is a good open alternative I personally prefer that. But question is if there is... So maybe exFAT actually is best solution even I personally hate SW patents...
Btw... Even if its not fully comparable. But lets look at the desktop market. Even if a company will not use windows in the organisation you have to buy Dell/Lenovo/HP computers with Windows OS junk preinstalled. That sucks bigtime too. But what is the alternative? There is probadly zero companys selling bussiness computers without windows crap preinstalled... Atleast in sweden. (Yeah I know there is system72 in US)
My point is whatever you choose you never get rid of the facts that you have to pay Google, Microsoft or some other big corporation whatever you choose. Business as usual...

Most common filesystems work well enough on flash. The benefit of F2FS is reducing the burnout, but if you don't write to it actively - it shouldn't be a major issue.

How do we know that exFAT is optimised for flash storage if the details are a trade secret? Because Microsoft says so?

Anyway, I was under the impression that reformatting an SD card isn't exactly a technical feat. People in general, tech-heads or no, should know about what they're buying and how to use it. This applies for anything.
