Android 3.x and after (4.0) dropped mass storage support and uses MTP

every device which is running 3.x or 4.x uses MTP. Yes, if it also has a
SD card that the SD card can be mounted as mass storage. MTP has
advantage as there is no restriction on how much storage to be reserved
for application thus allowing one to install as many applications as she
wants.
Since Android 4.x is going to be the OS installed on all Android devices
it is a big challenge for Linux distros.

PS: How about starting a petition asking Google to release a Linux
client for Android 4.x???

The OP would probably want to check out this forum thread with the
