Until Windows can read an EXT4 file system out of the box, its all bullshit. I'll be lenient and not demand exotic file systems like Btrfs or Xfs.

EDIT: And to the people who believe that patents influence innovation, how innovative was it when all those android devices were stuck using FAT32 (with a 4 GB file size limit) because Microsoft would not support anything else until exfat was ready? The single innovative aspect of this patent crap is to find new ways to fleece the consumer and manipulate the market.

Maybe this is a dumb question but why couldn't the Android devices just use Ext3 or something?

Probably because most people with android phones use windows on their desirous m desktop or laptop and not Linux. If android used ext3 their computer would not be able to talk to their phone.
