I'm glad they chose MTP: I want my phone to continue to work while I'm transferring files. In order to mount the filesystem via USB, the phone would have to unmount it (which means it's nothing but a flash drive). In order to mount the filesystem via USB, it also means they'd be forced to use VFAT for the Linux root filesystem, and that sucks bad. -- Grant
