Comment:
We absolutely need USB file system support if we want to eliminate the need
for browser plugins for device communication. In the GPS fitness device
market, this is the typical strategy for uploading and downloading data to and
from the device to a fitness website. Same thing for outdoor devices. USB Mass
Storage support would be crucial for eliminating dozens or more browser
plugins for this one type of device alone.
