Max number of characters in a cell in Excel?

I'm using Excel 2007. The maximum number of characters in a cell is a little over 32,000

I'm having an issue with this because it is not enough for some of the stuff I'm currently doing.

I have searched online for the specs for Excel 2010, the newly announced version of Excel (Excel 2012?) and OpenOffice, but I have not found any information about this.
