I needed a new tablet this past week so I bought the new 9.7 iPad with
128GB
storage. Gorgeous screen and it's fast. Great tablet - but I live in a
Windows world and after finding out the limitations and kludges I would
have
to use to transfer files/folders between the systems, I gave up. Not
worth the effort.

it's very easy to move content to/from an ipad, regardless of operating
system.

the limitation is with you, not the device.

Great remark - now would you read the the OP's question which I addressed.

actually, you didn't, and the original poster is a well known troll.

Manage being the operative word. You can copy certain file types natively
(iTunes, iCloud) which they specify. Managing the file system is a whole
other matter.

that is of course, absolutely false.

you said you gave up. that means you chose not to learn something new.

that's *your* decision, not a limitation of the device.

as i said, it's very easy to move content to/from an ipad, regardless
of operating system. i do it daily between mac, windows, linux and
*bsd. itunes or the cloud is *not* required. it's simply an *option*
among many.
