I have 32GB of space (2x 16GB cards) in my n800, but when the 32GB cards hit the market in a few days you'll be able to have 64GB. (The n800 has supported SDHC for quite a while, though before they released the official support you needed a kernel patch.)
It's still a tradeoff: it's still less space than a hard drive player could have, for example. But you're not limited to 2GB.
Note that the n810 only has one SDHC slot, so you can only expand that to 16GB (or 32GB when the cards come out).
If you like indie prog, Mindawn is pretty good, though they lack in most other areas. They sell OGGs and FLACs, and they support Linux, too. http://www.mindawn.com/
NTFS could probably use better allocation strategies, but you're presenting "fragmentation" vs "no fragmentation" as the tradeoff--in other words, no tradeoff at all. In reality, the choice is between "greater space efficiency" and "fragmentation". An ext3 partition, for example, keeps a 5% fragmentation reserve. And, ext3 and similar filesystems will begin to fragment greatly as you approach filling up the disk, as it's not possible to completely avoid fragmentation without incurring huge time penalties in the worst case.
That said, I don't like NTFS, and I don't think it compares favorably to half of the filesystems available on Linux, but it's unrealistic to portray it as simply as in this comment's parent. (My post is simplifying things a bit too, as I'm not an expert, so you'll want to do some research on your own if you want to satisfy yourself with the details.)

I think I survived this post's signature! How come I don't feel any learneder? ;-(
What? No. Windows is *multiple* standards :-)
At the moment, the most relevant mutually incompatible systems are XP and Vista.

Talk about reinventing the wheel!
I think the "It's fixed" page kdawson posted is talking about one of the other WGA outages, since it's from 2006. Link quoted here, note timestamp: http://blogs.msdn.com/wga/archive/2006/10/05/WGA-s ervice-outage.aspx
