           Summary: 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

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.
