Well, I've got two Samsung devices, a phone & a tablet and neither of

It depends on the model. My Tab 8.9 and S3 would both need rooting and a
third party app, but when I discussed this before someone said their S2
has UMS as an option built-in, even after upgrading to Jelly Bean. I
assumed, perhaps wrongly, that the lack of UMS is something they
introduced for newer devices than the S2, so the Tab 2 range isn't
likely to support it.

The Tab 2 does support USB mass storage. I've just tested it.
