But then it's just in Goodreader and I can't go back and forth between that and iAnnotate or other PDF apps I may have etc.
I'm just not willing to pay $500+ for a device that I have to jump through all these hoops with third party apps to get my content on it, organized and accessible to multiple programs.
I'm in no rush to get a tablet, I can wait until there's one that fits what I want better. I'll wait and see how the various android tablets are, how battery life etc. is on Windows 7 tablets and so on.
As for iTunes--I don't have a huge issue for it. Just needs some work with books, pdfs, photos etc.--it's fine for music and movies.
The bigger issue is the lack of a file management system on the ipad. I shouldn't have to synch photos, I should be able to drag and drop them into a photo section in itunes like I can drag and drop music on to my iPod etc.
I shouldn't have to load PDFs into individual program file sharing areas, there should be a folder system and apps should have browse and open menus etc.
