These are applications, not file system interfaces like USB Mass Storage. I want to mount the camera or gadget file system and access it from any program, not run a separate app to fetch files like Mass Stor. mounts a memory device.
Why create a dedicated app like a camera interface instead of using your favorite image browser on some files?
