yes, of course, thanks for the pointers. but i learned of the existence of this MTP thing only yesterday, and frankly, at first i couldn't see what was the advantage over plain ol' UMS for these kind of devices (not 100% convinced yet...). BTW, i found an application that makes the external sd card (not the phone card) available as USB mass storage device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009 i tried it, but it only runs on rooted phones, apparently. i've had mine only two days and i haven't rooted it yet. best, lj
