EasyShare supports Android phone via USB

I posted recently about Android utilities being included in future EasyOS and Quirky releases:

EasyShare is now using these utilities and supports file sharing via an Android phone connected by USB cable.

The main GUI now has a checkbox "Android USB", and it is very simple to use. Here is a snapshot:

The only slight difficulty, very slight, is that Developer mode and USB debugging have to be turned-on on the phone. The phone is automatically discovered, and it is just a matter of clicking the "Mount" button. 

I have updated the EasyShare tutorial page:
