Default Googler's idea for implementing USB Mass Storage on N7 without rooting
Brian Swetland proposes this app idea for USB Mass Storage on the N7, even without rooting. Thoughts from the devs?

More links and discussion on his G+ post. Excuse the hack job on the G+url, new member and such: plus[dot]google[dot]com/u/0/116035013937554489222/posts/KiqFpDpDWto

I see a some grumbling about the Nexus 7 (and Galaxy Nexus) not supporting USB Mass Storage devices (thumb drives, etc). Want to make some friends by writing a fun app? Use the USB Host APIs, implement USB Mass Storage (basicly SCSI over USB bulk -- pretty simple encapsulation), and FAT/FAT32 in a standard Android app and make it available via market. No need for "rooting" for this to work.
