Additionally, removing mass storage mode in ICS was mostly done because with MTP/PTP you don't have to mount/unmount the file system.
Failure to unmount the volume caused a lot of confusion when files didn't finish copying to the device, or even the FAT file system could get corrupted.
Yes I had put the source just above the quote

Anyway it doesn't hide the deficiency of not having a micro-SD slot on the Nexus 4 especially with 16GB being the max storage capacity you can get...If the internal storage was at least 32GB, I don't think it would have been that bad (although I would prefer a 64GB or 8/16/32GB + microSD) but to limit storage to 8 and 16GB is pretty poor for a class-leading pure Google device IMO...

It seems like Google take the highest spec device of the year and make one or two things worse and launch it as the Nexus:

SGS -> Nexus S
SGS2 -> Galaxy Nexus
LG Optimus G -> Nexus 4


I personally bought the first two after the nexus' were launched in their launch years as I found them to be a better deal than the nexus...For this year it'll be either the SGS3 or LG Optimus G or if I lose my mind maybe the Note 2 ...
