*sigh* I guess I'm going mobile

[Bruce Dawson]

The latest Androids seem to require MTP(?) to transfer files between it
and a remote system. Some do the connection only over bluetooth, some
over the USB cable.

Not all Linux systems support the MTP protocol version required by Android.

I do know that some of the older Linux MTP versions DO NOT work with
Android! (Which can be very frustrating if you don't update frequently.)

PS: I seem to remember reading that MTP is a Microsoft derived product.
