Wow, thats a great new feature.

This is one thing that really infuriates me about new android devices. Their lack of syncing support with linux boxes.

Does anyone know if this support is something that can be backported to 12.04?

I had some success following this[1], though it didn’t seem to handle transferring lots of files at once very well.

Thanks, that was an incredibly helpful link.

Adding support was pretty trivial in the past, install a package and edit a config file. Just google your device + ubuntu and you'll more than likely find instructions.
