I'm sure it'll be expensive as hell when it first arrives, but KingMax is releasing a 64GB Micro SD-Card.
There shouldn't be any compatibility issues, since I'd be formatting that as ext4 for use in my Xoom anyway.
Thought the max for compatibility was 32GB.

Pretty sure that's just a filesystem issue with FAT; since I'll be formatting as ext4 that won't be an issue unless the kernel itself can't issue the block commands, and that's something that's readily fixed.

WOW. Thus, I will have 96 GB tablet. Whoohoo.
Oh, I've been waiting for this!
Once it's tested, I'll get the Sandisk one.
Out of curiousity, what will you use the 96gb for?

Hmmm... I am not sure the stability of handling 64GB since it was stated to support up to 32 GB.
I have a dell streak 7 which say supporting it up to 32GB, but my system got unstable whenver I got my SDCard in for a while. (only for a while, not immediately it will be unstable).
It restarts randomly and dead on sleep when I have the SDCard on. I tried to go back to stock on roms and it still happened until I gave up and took out the sdcard.
Based on this experience, I would rather think Android system's capability of handling large external SDCard is not perfect/stable. I may just hold a cautious but certainly happy view on this news =)

... and as a kernel dev, I think you just had a crap SD-Card
The device should handle any card regardless of size really, even without ext4 (the volume limit of FAT is something like 2Tb).
I read somewhere that Android didn't support ext4 on SD card without a custom kernel, is this correct? Seems odd considering the kernel must have ext4 support to read/write to the internal filesystems.
32 GB is usually mentioned by any device because that's the largest size that was actually tested with. Once they validate that 64 GB cards work (which they probably will), they will probably update the official specs.
Just a validation thing.

Yeah, there's probably a misunderstanding somewhere in what was written or read. For all intents and purposes, our internal storage (which has two filesystems on ext) is not much more electrically than a soldered-in SD-Card.

Nice quotes. I'm just curious, no need to flame. (96gb wouldn't do much for me; too much for basic stuff, but too little to hold everything. It would be a storage shuffling nightmare for me. I'm curious how people use their tablets).

Also is their anyway to make it so it can handle the same internet speed as a laptop.

So i was just wondering whats the highest storage the xda will take? i was thinking of buying a 4gb SD card you know if this would work on the exec/universal?
I saw somewhere last weekend that Sandisk is comming out with 8GB MiniSD cards.

The 4GB card works just fine on my Universal. I love it, never have to swap it out for a different one.
The only issue I've heard about (but isn't an issue for me) is that the camera won't let you save pictures to the card unless you have at least 2GB filled up. It's an issue with the way the camera application was written.

Does that ROM include the goofy battery indicator and jumping clock? I've avoided upgrading the ROM because 1) I don't really have any problems with the way it's running now, 2) I like the clock to stay where it is and 3) I don't need a battery indicator since I have Batti. Sort of a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
It's good to know they fixed it at least the camera thing though, thanks!

I think it MAY be more that, but hey, the new rom has brilliant A2DP, AVRCP, and Push Email!
My Universal is plenty fast enough as is. None of the new ROM's bells and whistles are really that important to me, so I'm just going to keep it as is.
I think we've gotten a little off track and hijacked the "SD maximum" thread!

Sandisk, as good as their cards may be, are usually one of the last to release big cards.
I've not heard rumours of 4gb miniSDs let alone the 8gb.

Posted a few minutes ago.....
Some of you may remember from when the GN1 was launched, during the press conference, there was indication that google would be implementing this at some point.
It has now been confirmed within their issue tracker.
And with the pending release of Android 2.2... and the upcoming conference... this may be only a few *days* off.
I thought nexus one didn't need apps2sd?
512mb internal storage? Why would you need apps2sd with that much?

Some people *cough*non-android users*cough* seem to think that Android apps are all 100mb each and you can only install a few. This will finally calm those masses, and help the odd person that installs 600 apps.

This has NOTHING to do with GN1.
It is for ANDROID, which is NOT limited to a single device.
It should be in the next available release after 2.2

That isn't all for apps. Only 190mb can be used for apps. I ran out after about 100-125 apps were installed.

I know this, I was using Nexus as an example. After Sapphire, it seems like apps2sd isn't really needed. However, I never knew it was limited to so little room of that for apps. With my Sapphire I have about 100 apps (more than I really ever use) and still have 170mb internal memory. Thats why I was like, wtf, why now? Not sure how much is limited to apps on Sapphire, though.

Google supports ANDROID, you want to speak with the manufacturers and carriers who are the ones that manage what updates make it to which phones.
Google is releasing this for ANDROID, what phones it makes it to is not Google's decision.
It is needed for good game development

need help to force the applications to install on sd and when I'm going to move to SD app2sd block
I have found some information in this site:
http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/A2SD
but i don't know if it can be applied to hd2 android nand.
EDIT..................
really?
take a joke man.
maybe its silly american humor or sarcasm.
no need for name calling.
plus you're using some american pricks build
Can we just stick to the topic please...
Of course this is less of a problem for those with 1024 devices but will be a huge one for those with 512MB.
I use a HTC Desire (which has 'similar' memory specs to the HD2) and trust me a proper implementation of A2SD is/will be required.
From IRC logs:
Curious_ MN_ app2sd works fine
Curious_ i moved app2sd app to sd card
MN_ which rom?
Curious_ cotulla's
Curious_ worked out of box
Maybe this person is asking why some apps don't move to sd , I can move only some small apps to sd for ex I have NFS SHIFT witch I can;t move to sd To bad I hove somebody finds a way moving this sort of apps to sd.
apps you moved via app2sd are still leaving data.. not much but enough for being a problem for hd2 512mb users like me...
A2SD+ would be a perfect solution. mounting another partition to extend the intern ram..

It has been confirmed that the SIII support EXFAt out of the box. Samsung uses a proprietary kernel driver that supports it. Wondering if it's possible to implement this on our Note?

The advantage is quite big actually.
It will allow for files larger than 4GB, for movie storage this is not a luxury.
yes. My 64 Gb microsdcard formated in Exfat works really well on my new galaxy SIII. 10Gb 1080p MKV files play very smoothly.
it would be a BIG feature!!!!
It was the only reason that's I'm thinking to get s3
don't think its possible but hope so

It does, but NTFS is even more of a closed format than ExFAT is, and the SGS3 doesn't support NTFS so there's no drivers to grab.
Pretty sure there is an NTFS module that'll work with CM9, I presume the same would be true for ExFAT.
It still amuses me that people put >4GB movies on their phone. I don't think I've got anything >2.5GB and at a casual glance you can hardly tell the difference from the original BluRay on a proper TV, much less a 5.3" display.

I'm hoping for this feature to, a lot of films and programsare under 4gb now but for the ones that aren't I can't be arsed to convert them it takes to long.
I really dont see the need but I guess it would help someone. I guess Im the only guy that converts movies right before I go to bed or while im at work.
I need to be able to record more than 50 minutes of video without the camera stopping at the 4GB limit.
It is so tantalizing to have the solution so near, yet so far... unless I buy a GS3 A nexus won't do - it has no SD card.

It's not about "Note" supporting 64GB card. It's about "Note" supporting a single file above 4GB. Unfortunately FAT doesn't allow to do that.
Otherwise what's the point?
I hope it's at least improved over the OP3/T in Oxygen OS.

It may, depends on your usage. But the other point is the extra storage (128GB). So you are getting a little more for your money.
In my case the 8gb one is just spend more money, 64gb is enough for me
