Redefinition
The iPad may not need a visible, all-dictating file system as we know it, but it damn well needs a filing system. This “post-PC device” depends on a PC, or on nasty workarounds like emailing or cloud services, to do what it’s supposedly replacing. (Unless literally all you do is read mail and browse. I’m pretty sure most of those people would like to write a document and file it away every once in a while too.)
This is what I was getting at when the iPad was announced. There are certain things that people want and need to do. It’s interesting to watch Apple try to see what it can get away with omitting.
