This came up recently with a different subject. Your device does not have
a partition table, instead the filesystem occupies the whole device
(sometimes referred to as a "superfloppy" format). There's nothing wrong
with this, I have a couple of USB sticks like it, and my Nexus S is the
same.

Your automounter should still pick it up.
