In saying that, I
don't think they'll be supporting your own videos sadly. Just the Amazon Instant content. You've all failed to also see:

On-device Storage 8GB internal (approximately 6GB available for user content). That's enough for 80 apps, plus 10 movies or 800 songs or 6,000 books.

80 apps = 12.8MB each = 1GB. 10 Amazon Instant Video Videos = 500MB each (as per their listed portable versions) = 5GB. Even this screenshot suggests so:
And one last thing...

Q: Can you load your own files through the USB?
A: Yes, you can connect it to a PC. We don't think people are going to do it very often; we haven't optimized for that use.
But if you plug it into a PC or Mac, folders will show up and you can drag files onto it.

Most of the people who are buying the Kindle Fire aren't going to have digital movies sitting on their hard drive. At least ones that are not DRM protected. Most people who are buying it also don't have computers that can even handle video efficiently, it's one of the reasons why Netflix and YouTube are so big - Because things like Flash offer better playback than AVI, WMV, and the rest. Not all of us have huge hard drives either.
MP4/VP8 are the only supported file extensions on that list for video.
