Wouldn't it be more feasible to standardize on a USB file system
format than to go about trying to create a utility and then expect
manufacturers to standardize on that?
What is the significance of the file system? The interface should work
with any usb ported device, not just pen drives. Cameras, IR, bluetooth,
printer, scanner, multi-function, modem etc. USB is quite a popular
format for many devices. Universal plug and play utilities dedicated to
the individual OSes could make driver writing universal too. The hard
part will be to develop the interfaces for each OS, but once that is
done, making common drivers will not be a problem for the manufacturers.
