Content Management and the iPad 
by Javier on June 14, 2010

Nice review of a nice application with good intentions, but I’m afraid this is just yet another proof that Apple is contributing to create a huge information and content management problem with their iTunes-as-a-broker and the apps-as-content-silos strategy.

iOS4 clearly falls short in its capabilities to manage files, versions, synchronization and sharing, not to say in providing the tools to mitigate the problem. Developers are struggling to create relevant solutions to problems that can only be solved by services provided by the platform. Apple needs here to dramatically boost their operating system capabilities here; simplicity can’t be an excuse for not trying to find a better solution.
