I don't see anything inherently wrong with an open protocol like MTP. > to allow concurrent access from both the computer and the phone. I don't know MTP at all, but MTP allows no parallelism; unlike USB mass storage, MTP has been built to only allow a single operation at a time (for example, read, write or delete operation), while no other operation can be executed until the previous operation is complete. <URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol#Drawbacks> Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
