Keyboard dock features questions

Afternoon folks,

I've just ordered a keyboard dock for my Transformer, it should be with me early next week. I have a couple of questions:

1) What's the biggest (size) SD card the dock / Transformer will recognise? I already have a 32GB class 10 micro SD card in my Transformer, by I want to beef up the storage capacity. I'm thinking of chucking a 64GB SD card in there - will this work or am I better off just putting a(nother) 32GB card in?

2) If I get a 3G dongle from a cell phone retailer (such as those used in laptops for mobile internet) and plug it into one of the USB slots, will that give me mobile internet in my Transformer or is the only way to use a tethered cell phone?

Cheers in advance!
 
If the 64GB is "SDHC" it will work.

Dongles won't work unless the dongle manufacturer has built an Android driver. The Transformer for now supports just gamepads, USB thumbdrives, harddrives, keyboards, mouse.
 
Really very pleased with my dock. I've had a play and I've been able to download photos from my phone onto my tab, and also connect my Nikon D80 as an external drive and transfer photos across so potentially I could take both out on the road and be able to upload photos to the web in real time. Mental. I've also been able to get into my work system via Citrix so I'm one happy camper. I'll just chuck a 64GB SD card in there and I'm all set.
 
It's really a genius system.

I'm stuck overseas for a while, when I get home my TF will get a lot of HDMI time..

I am a tiny bit disappointed the prime has only one USB port- I sometimes plug in a harddrive and thumbdrive (or two harddrives) and use the Transformer to copy files from one device to another..
