I still think the iPad is geared more towards consumption than creation. All I do is consume and it's just great for that.

>> Agree. On a desktop, thats where I live, on a tablet, no need. also no need for file associations when the app owns the content, no need for "where have I put it" when the app owns the content. Phone or tablet is a bit clumsy if you live in Windows Explorer or Finder, thats mouse territory

As for associating a file with an application, I'm intelligent enough to know what program I want to use with a given file at a given time, so I've no real need for them as well. Does "open with" create a duplicate copy for the new program to manipulate? If so, then there's a real problem knowing WHICH of several copies is the latest.
