Now this I disagree with. iTunes is becoming iBloated. It is great for managing music. So-so for managing Podcasts. Mediocre for managing Movies and TV Shows. Horrible for managing Apps. I don't want to throw photos into the mix too.

You can drag and drop photos into iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac and manage them easily in there, then sync those albums up to your iDevice. Please don't ask Apple to add photo management into iTunes, it is not where it belongs.

If you don't want to use either application, you can just manage them in a directory structure and sync that directory (and all selected sub-directories). This works in Windows and on the Mac. This is the method I use and it works just fine. Change the contents of the folders. Sync in iTunes, and the photos on the iDevice are changed.

Now what I'm asking Apple for is minimal management with in the Photos application to at least allow me to create new albums and move photos between those albums.

Actually this is coming. Apple has mentioned a shared storage space for applications. It will be up to apps to access it.
