When USB cable is connected between device and Host machine - Notification area should show USB Icon and options related to USB operations available to User. eg: using device for Mass storage feature.

This Notification is not observed as of now. Unable to check Mass storage functionality at UI level.

Tested for Snowball and iMX53 hardware as of now - but issue may exist on all hardware's.

Can be due to Gingerbread on top of Linux kernel 3.0, Userspace not getting updated with USB information.
