You can manually mount/umount, as you do in your desktop.
My idea is to help maemo platform in the package management area. This
is one idea: enable users to use MMC, SMB, NFS and others as media to
store applications. The other is to enable users to beam their
applications to other users. Both are kind of connected.
I'll start a proposal of enhancement in wiki next week.
This is an excellent idea, but the "manually mount/umount" is where I see the real problem. It's not really practical to expect the user to remember to manually handle the mount/umount process. At least for me, I guess.
Plus, what happens when the wifi connect drops and comes back? I've seen all sorts of problems on *nix where recovering from temporary network outages doesn't work totally correctly (and you end up with hung/zombied processes, etc.).
But I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes.
Brad.
