The main reason I want a tablet/slate is for media consumption. I have several SDHC cards that are full of movies, eBooks, pictures, music, etc. I must be able to swap out the SD cards on the fly depending on what mood I am in and what media I want to consume. Alternately, I have a lot of media content on a few USB thumb drives as well, and must be able to move media to/from the device from those as well. I also use Portable Apps very often since they will run from an SD card or a USB drive with no problems. I would also occasionally browse the Internet, but mostly just want a media consumption device. The iPad has a nice form factor, and has great battery life but fails in some very fundamental ways.
I know someone who has an iPhone, and I understand that you cannot even copy/paste content to/from the device at all (have to use iTunes), and that there isn’t even a file browser at all. Is that actually true?
