There are ONE POINT THREE million devices activated each day that are not "plug and play" with Ubuntu!

I have been frustrated with the lack of Android 4+ (MTP) plug and play for some time and I have tried gmtp and go-mtpfs but none have been stable. I handle my family's 7 android devices and the proposed workarounds works now and then for some of the devices. Last time that I needed to offload 9 GB of pictures from a Galaxy SII phone I had to revert to a virtual Windows 7:(

I propose to make MTP "Plug & Play" in Ubuntu, current LTS and future releases.
