As far as I'm aware, existing MTP access methods (DigiKam, Amarok) were seen as good 
enough, so nobody so far found the need to write a MTP KIO Slave to mount MTP devices in 
Dolphin. (Well, not exactly true: In 2007 a 3rd party wrote it but it died in alpha stage:
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/kio_mtp?content=55618 )
I don't have an MTP device so I can't tell how good Amarok and DigiKam in that respect.
