Comment:
I can confirm this for nautilus 2.12.1-0ubuntu1.1 on Breezy.

Right-clicking the device in the sidebar or within the folder itself does not bring up a context menu with an unmount option, as it does in computer:///. The 'Properties' window is that of a standard directory, and not a special media location.

It seems that in browser mode, the device is actually treated as a directory in /media, and not as a volume in computer:///, which would allow unmounting/viewing of volume properties.
