I am tempted by an iPad
a PC
If you jailbreak the iPad you can drag and drop to your hearts content.
It's legal and easy.
Doesn't it invalidate the warranty though?

To Jailbreak it with Absynthe2.0 it is no more than clicking on the install button in the .exe.
To return it to a normal iPad it takes no more than a pop into iTunes and clicking on the restore option.
Jailbreaking the iPhone4 was the best thing I did to it, it improved battery life, opened up many customising options and gave me access to a whole load of apps Apple deem unAppleworthy. The phone was two years old but I'd have no hesitation jailbreaking an iPad or phone if I had one.
This might help you do what you want ...
I find dropping stuff in the dropbox folder on my laptop the easiest way to move stuff to the pad.
Dropbox for me too. Simple.
I use Dropbox all the time on my PC's and phone but never thought of it for the iPad. Problem is I don't save my music and videos in my Dropbox folder so I'd still have to resort to plan B to transfer the 16GB or so of files over.

That's your problem right there. I don't need to read any further
By the way, anyone interested in Dropbox?
You don't have to keep them in your Dropbox. You'd just be using it as a means of transferring them, not as a means of storing them.
I currently use MS Windows based PC's, Linux (Ubuntu and Mint) PC and netbook and an Android phone. I have in the past used Acorn Electrons, Oric 1's, Speccys, C64's and yes, even an Apple Mac once.
Generally speaking I am not a lover of Apple or its proprietory software and have knocked Apple products on this very forum in the past.
However, the new iPad is one very sexy piece of kit IMHO and until I have seen (and ruled out) the new Asus Nexus 7 (chance would be a fine thing as everyone is sold out before they even have stock!) or until a 10" Android device running JellyBean comes along then a purchase of an iPad gets ever closer.
You only get 2GB free with Dropbox. Google Drive gives you 5GB free.
Yes, but the thought of uploading 16GB of files only to download them again to another device because it doesn't cope with D'n'D seems frankly ridiculous!
