You can move files with a drag and drop with iFiles. You can email as many attachments as you like with GoodReader. You can modify stuff on your computer directly with SplashTop. You can import and read files wirelessly with FileBrowser. Grand total of less than 20$. Just try to find any software by Microsoft for that price...
Apps are bits and pieces of specialized software a little like modules. You just use the one you need for the task at hand.
Ok just a very basic question around email attachment, I have seen peoples suggestion already.
Let say I receive an email and want to reply that and same time i want to attach few word, pics in the reply. Does Mrs Steve Jobs or any one has anser which can solve this issue in one click like you can do it in laptop, computer and other mobile phones. This is vety basic to me and should not take more then two click. One hit reply secon hit attachement bowse choice of file and hit ok???
Does any body has this answer??
I don't hink so this will require million lines of code (few extra lines can cover this(- its simply bloody a Apple policy no updates will cover this becase its simply a policy not bug. Apple has done it deliberatly to F** its customers and rule the world by tearing customers as a beggar.
You can do this easily. GoodReader allows you to add any number and any variety of attachments to an email and send it directly from the iPad's native Mail app. There's no problem at all!!
Yes - of course - you're right that the basic Mail app itself won't do this because the iPad is not a file centric device but an app centric platform, where each app has its own 'private' file space. Thus, under this arrangement, the Mail app does not have access to the file space of other apps - the iPad's operating system, iOS, deliberately isolates or 'sandboxes' apps to protect them absolutely from virus attack. So, yes, Apple could have taken the decision to use a conventional file system on the iPad - then we would all have been complaining about having to install virus protection software.
They wanted to make the iPad a 'third way' a platform for a whole new group of users who perhaps had not previously been 'computer users'. This platform should be very simple to use, very intuitive. So the iPad is not complex to set up - even for those people who have never used a computer before. It was not designed primarily to 'please' the expert user - Apple reasoned that they, surely, would be able easily to find a way around some of these seeming 'restrictions'. Rather it was designed to empower a whole new category of user who had been too intimidated by the conventional PC.
So, in my mind, the iPad is ideal. My 90 year old father, who has never used a computer before in his life, was able to pick up the iPad and figure out how to operate it without a manual. I doubt very much whether he'd have been able to do that with a PC.
In my mind they made some very sound and credible strategic decisions and they are now reaping the rewards of stunning global sales.
