Is it common practice to give each external device (calcs, mp3players,
cameras,...) a file system? Somehow I doubt that, because I haven't
seen much (if any) of these things. On the other hand unix is all about
files and filesystems and "living room"-unix is a relatively recent
phenomena...

In a first version we could try this out with the usb cable only and
copy parts of umass or something. It's worth trying out.
