It has more to do with the fact that those things are easy to write
drivers for than they are needed.  A good programmer could turn out
drivers for those devices in a couple days with all the examples
available now.

And if you can get this board and it does everything, why buy a
Cloud-9?  If you already did... you can always sell the Cloud-9 board
on ebay! :D  

As for other devices... it's the FAT file system that seems to bother
people when it comes to adding USB drives.
