Probably will be.

The bigger issue is how you can get the files in certain apps once you get the file on the iPad without an open menu.

For instance, if I put a PDF on an iPad it should be easily available to all the PDF reading and annotation apps I have on it. Right now you put it in Goodreader, and that's it. I couldn't figure out how to get it into iPDF--a free app my girlfriend had downloaded first.

iAnnotate looks like a great app for marking up PDFs, but she hasn't downloaded that so I haven't got a chance to see if there's a way to open a PDF dropped into Goodreader, or if you have to go back and drop it into iAnnotate as well.

In any case, a normal file management system would be a huge help and is the biggest shortcoming I've seen on the iPad in terms of what's annoyed me thus far.
