iPad is Great, iTunes is not.

The idea that you have to have a special program just to swap files is insane. If there was an equally-powerful Android version of the aviation program that I needed this for in the first place, I'd be outta here so fast the air would crackle. Android pads are cheaper and if you plug one into any computer with a USB port, it thinks the Android is a drive -- you don't have to load software (which can be a problem on a shared computer, school computer, work computer, library computer, friend's computer, computer running non-Apple or non-Windoze OS, older computer without a lot of empty drive space, etc). iTunes is an obstacle between the computer and the iPad, turning a simple, 1-minute task into five minutes worth of administrative annoyance. I am so disgusted with it that I will not buy another Apple product which can't be seen as a plug-and-play drive on a computer that has no special software.

I agree with you. I want to change the photos on my iPad and it's going to take me at least a half hour. By the time I back up the photos on my iPad then remove the ones I don't want there then add the new photos, create more folders and remove others it will probably take at least a half hour. I am seriously considering buying a different brand of tablet, getting real tired of Apple's restrictions.

iTunes is just sad. The good news is you don't need to rely on it much.

Is MP3 piracy too? If it is them I can see apple's point. But if it ain't that is just ridiculous.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

Is downloading MP3 considered piracy? Cause if it is then I can see apple's point. But if it ain't then iTunes is just sad.
