Agreed.
FireTV ethernet is only 100mbit anyway. I have a USB "gigabit" adapter that I use on my ATV1 with openelec and it's supported out of the box on the FireTV. I'm sure the Nexus Player will support USB OTG.... connect a small powered USB hub, add your hard drive, add your USB network interface and off you go.
Killer for me is the lack of IR, and no information about mouse functionality. If the remote had a gyro mouse function in it, that would be huge.... sucks to by flirc and something to deal with basic interface operations for market and sideloaded apps. This is the only thing keeping me from replacing my openelec box in my living room with the FireTV...
