I can see how an expansion slot would be important if you watch movies. I was wondering what all the storage space was for. Call me slow

I think...mostly..for the casual user. Although music can eat up space too, especially on an 8GB device. For a tablet I don't think it's a big deal, but my wife needs more like 16GB or so for music + apps, etc on her phone (otherwise it means constant tinkering with what is on it).
PDFs can also be large. Using my tablet for ScummVM could eat up the space also (oldschool PC adventure game emulator).
Honestly I get by fine on an 8GB device day-to-day...but if I was going on a trip...I'd be sure to have some movies on an SD card for the kids.
And power users can certainly use the space. I haven't messed around with getting DOSbox or an Amiga emulator working on my Thrive yet...generally use my laptop for that. I imagine a bunch of CD images or the like would eat into my available 6GB or so of space pretty quickly.
