The mac was put out there to make computing simpler/more intuitive than what was previously available. The ipad seems to be trying to do the same type of thing. how much of the ipad is back to 1984 and a what was old is new again theme?

I kept asking "where are the file api's!" and it wasn't until a friend asked me simply "who cares where it is, the OS knows" did I start to make that mental change.<br><br>so yea, very cool to see someone else go thru the same - thanks! hehe – i'm glad I could pass along that revelation as it was shown to me back when I was starting to do some iPhone dev work.

you seriously blew my mind with that point of never showing the file system. its the only thing ive been wanting, because its the only way ive thought of using a computer. im having a real turn around with this ipad concept. though, i do have to say, i would love it if apple did include zip compression the same they have on the Mac OS, but i cant imagine it being a feature until an OS or 2nd/3rd gen update. still though, your point really has me turning my opinion around. thank you.

Who is not to say that Apple doesn't build in zip compression also?<br><br>you have to realize the whole point of the iPhone/iPad is to *never* show the filesystem to the user - allow them to deal with and manipulate the items in that items context. but that's not the method most “normal” folks share photos IMO – they select a bunch of photos and then click “share” – boom, the photos are sent to their friend in email.
