It is a problem we'll have to face soon however - even if the current
Galaxy Tab can be switch to mass storage...
The Galaxy Nexus (and thus reference for the next generation of
android phones/tablets) does not have a USB mass storage mode since it
does not have an SD card to unmount to present to the system. Rather
MTP is being used so that both the phone and the connected system can
have simultaneous access to the internal filesystem.

actually, I think your declaration that there won't be a USB mass
storage mode in the next gen android phones/tablets is incorrect...

Right now we cannot say if future Samsung/Motorola/HTC/etc phones
based on ICS and the GN reference will follow a similar pattern or
not....

It will be there as evidenced by the Asus Transformer Prime
