I guess that signals the end of support for the K20.

That thought also crossed my mind. I believe you need extra address lines to the card.

Does the ability to read SDXC cards mean that the 25minute max for video will no longer apply?

No changes there. I think European regulations prohibit a DSLR to record more than a 20 min. video.
On top of that, would you watch a 30 min video showing a beetle walking on ice without any cuts?

This sounded a bit suspicious to me so I had a Google around. It appears the limit is 30 minutes, any more than that and it gets classified as a video camera, which attracts an extra 4.9% in duty in the EU. As a result some manufacturers have limited their still camera recording to 29 minutes for European versions only, where the worldwide versions are unlimited. The Panasonic GH1 apparently is one such camera.
However on dSLRs I thought the limit was more to do with heat build up in the sensor.

Ah - that's why. I thought it was to do with 'block size' and addressing within the SDHC cards - but it seems like its down to the 'powers that be' - why we should get clobbered another 4.9%
On the other hand as Yves points out: 'would you watch a 30 min video showing a beetle walking on ice without any cuts?'
