I think it's a useful addition to KDE 4 and hopefully will make things easier for newcomers to Linux who happen to pick a KDE-based distro.

For most people who use a graphical desktop really necessary, I don't know any non-developer who wants to mess around with manually mounting an external disk or a camera.

Will it be possible to choose where the devices are mounted to? And which name is shown (some usb-devices have really crappy names, which seems like they can not be changed). Hey, that looks cool.
