You can add flash storage as CompactFlash (internal, under battery, replaces the built-in flash) or as an SD card. You can now get 16GB CompactFlash cards for less than $200, and 8GB SD (SDHC) cards, which also work with Treo 680s and other smartphones. So if you need lots of storage, 24 GB today sounds pretty good, larger than many laptop hard disks only a few years ago.
The main expansion issue is that you only get 128 MB RAM, but if the software is light enough (OLPC-like in fact) then it should still remain quite a useful platform.
