FTR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol "By design, MTP devices cannot be "mounted" as a mass storage drive on Windows or Macintosh. An MTP device (like a PTP device) is not to be considered a file system in the traditional sense. Additional confusion is created by the fact that Windows Explorer treats MTP devices somewhat like a file system, except without an assigned drive letter, making it impossible for other applications to access the data directly." > I found an mtplib project on sourceforge but was hoping cygwin wouldn't need > something like this.
