Yep, that's THE major drawback that's letting me resist the temptation to buy an iPad right now.

It needs a real file management system so you can just get the files into every program that supports that file type from a central location just like on a PC or MAC.

I can live with having to use iTunes to drag and drop--not ideal but I can manage as drag and drop is drag and drop at the end of the day regardless of whether I'm opening "My Computer" or a 3rd party program to do it.

But I should be able to drag and drop into folders that can be accessed by multiple apps, not have to drag stuff to every app I want to use that file, and presumably waste space on the iPad by having multiple copies of the same files.
