"By design, MTP devices cannot be "mounted" as a mass storage drive on Windows 
or Macintosh."
Now hows that for shooting yourself in the knee?
I've just tried sticking my multi-thingy USB adaptor into my linux box and it 
seems it can read anything on it with ease. On my windows box it requires all 
sorts of shenanigans to get it working.
Typical miserysoft - design a protocol to make it difficult for the user!

Anyway thats another doubleplusgood for linux - stick in your usb storage and 
it works.
