I think iPhone OS was the right choice, but I really wish they programmed in more desktop style functionality, like installing apps without the store, file management, a free environment to make your own folders and such, and the ability to run multiple apps at once, etc.

Why would you want a file system to manage -- nostalgia for the 80s? : P

Seems like asking for CP/M drive letters. Where's my C:/ !?

[blueantenna]

I like my C drive :( I went into Mac's disk utility and renamed Macintosh HD to C ^^

Honestly though, it's nice keeping related files of unrelated file types in one place, like a folder for a website, holding all the images, code, and other files. It's also nice to not have to keep unrelated files that have the same format in one place. For example, I might not want an audio clip of someone's voice for use in a keynote presentation to be right there next to all my iPod stuff.

[RoughlyDraftedVideo]

Yes, but if your audio files, pictures, and other categories of docs are made available in a Media Browser type of database (like iMovie, iTunes, iPhoto, etc in Mac OS X), you get a "better than the old file system" experience and the ability to sort and find and browse those file collections in a specialized browser (like iTunes, iPhoto, etc).

I welcome this change. I don't want to deal with files any more than file fragments or magnetic spots on my HD or high and low voltages. Abstract!

Well that's not very frugal in our tough economic times.

hmmmmm... the iphone OS works well with 60-64 gigs of flash RAM? I'm pretty sure it can't even adress more than the iphone 4's 512 MB of RAM, but you said it on the internet so it must be true.

[ebaumsdidit]

Issue: Mac OS X is an open platform, iOS is not. Simply for the fact that the iPad cannot run any application a developer designs for it without being jailbroken, it is a bad OS

Jobs may find that Flash sucks, but that doesn't mean he has any right to ban developers from porting it to the iPad or ban users from running it on the iPad. He should have zero control over how people use their product.
