Microsoft announced that WP8 will support microSD cards , hence this rumor makes quite sense .
The phone is likely to support USB mass storage by allowing access by mounting the microSD card .

My old SE w810 used to do that , and I'm sure even older phones would've easily done this. It's a old thing, the only thing MS did is to remove it and then re introduce it in the new version of Win-phone.
I'm never an OS which plays dirty tricks like that.
