More storage = more games you can buy
Anyway, we'll see, I hope you're wrong. The lack of storage on this device is a real weak point. Meanwhile, for those looking to connect USB storage, consider connecting it to your router as a network drive.
its definetely why i have been reluctant to jump on the fire tv train. i have giftcard money to use, but thats a deal breaker for me. i hope that they just dont update or update it but make it fat32 only or worse only make it available for developers. im sure xda could work around that but amazon doesn seem in a rush to work on this
