The idea is to set up a small tarp over the entrance (where I can) to allow me to cook and what have you - a bit extra space. It's quite a large one man bivi-style tent, you could probably fit two people in it at a push - well there'll be me and the dog (collie) in it at the weekend so we'll see how much room we have. I'm used to small tents and compact gear though so I think it'll be alright.
A mate has one of those, it's not bad for the price but I doubt I'd have used it in Mongolia! He always says it's like a coffin, with the fly an inch from his nose.
Because I don't have a smart tv? (and I've got three TV's it could connect to that aren't already connected to a PC).
It can also be used with plex over our network.
Because it's quieter and cheaper (not to mention much smaller*) than a PC to do the same job?
And because I suspect some members of my family may find it easier to use than some of the other options.
Not to mention it's a gadget that looks interesting and didn't cost much.
*It's about the size of a double CD case.

I think one of the important things to remember is that it is ultimately a modified android device, which means that it's likely to be able to be updated far more easily than most smart TV's (some of which have a tendency to lose functionality as their interfaces don't get updated after a while).
It also has the ability to play games etc, and Amazon are making a reasonably big thing about the voice search for content, which should make it much easier to uses out of the box than most smart TV's.
yeah thats a good point, I'm sure amazon will support it well. I'd probably get it a bit down the line I imagine.
New HD and a Mel Brooks classic
Awesome film
