One of the biggest issues of the iPad is that it doesn't have a file system accessible by an ordinary user. This is by design -- I don't know if it is a good design, however
. The idea is/was that files get scattered all over your hard drive and the average user shouldn't have to deal with a hierarchical directory. Instead, you go to the app you want and it accesses its own files. The problem occurs when you want to send those files somewhere else. It is often hard to get a file from 'here to there'. Because of there is no mechanism to save a file in the browser and to access it from another app such as email.
There are some work arounds that exist. Many apps support dropbox, and something saved in dropbox in one app can go to another app. Some of the alternative browsers also support dropbox.
