Since the flames on this thread seem to be settling, I dare to reply to a 
message on it... ;-)

For Samsung devices, it seems to be some, but not all devices. Looking at the 
tablets, you have usb mass storage support in the Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 
N8000 and the N8020, but not in the N8010. The N8010 and N8020 are marked as 
"new" on samsung.at, so I guess there is no fixed policy for/against 
exclusively using MTP...

(Though I do agree that MTP seems to be on the rise...)
