Ext3 is another filesystem, why is that 'even worse'? The BSD FFS would also work, as would NTFS. Of course the linux kernel needs to be built to support those file sytems, or you need a loadable module for them, which is why you saw ext3 mentioned as that is in almost all kernel builds. None of these are ideal for use with flash cards anyway, ideally we would all be using some type of JFS with them.

Re. "Ext3" = "Even worse" because I find it extremely inefficient and even unprofessional, to claim those units being multimedia devices as well and not even being able to handle the easiest of tasks.
I wouldn't mind, if the system automatically would use an adequate file system. But doing it manually? That's why iOS (unfortunately) still shines...
