In any case, there's not a clear, easy to use file management system. It's either multiple copies, or a very clunky way at getting at files through multiple apps.

Thats not entirely right!
eg photos are all stored in one place I can view a pic then open it in a photo editing app and save it it will save to the photo folder and then be editable in other apps.
Music is all stored in one place and can be accesed from any app that chooses to support it.
Both of those things are also the same way already on the iPhone.
obviously apps can choose to store their own content seperate from that.
also in terms of getting stuff on and off the device its actually interesting heres a couple of highlights from here -

Additionally, iPad apps can now specify that their documents be shared wirelessly. With that configuration, the iPad will make available each apps' documents, allowing the user to wirelessly mount their iPad via WiFi and simply drag and drop files back and forth between it and their desktop computer.
On the desktop system, the iPad will show up as a share containing a documents folder for each app that enables sharing. For example, a user with iWork apps will be able to wirelessly connect to their iPad as if it were a directly connected drive, and simply drag spreadsheet, presentation, or word processing files between their local system and the mobile device as desired.
Documents copied to the app's shared folder will be graphically presented by the app when it launches, sparing users from having to figure out where to look for their document files and avoiding any need to sort through different kinds of documents. The document listing also presents each file as a large preview akin to Quick View on the Mac OS X desktop.
