Will iPad 3 be pretty much the ultimate tablet?

There is no such thing as "ultimate" in the world of technology. There is always something better on the horizon...always.

I don't want Dropbox, I simply want to be able to move my own files from whatever of my own machines, to my own web site..

All I'm saying is that IOS is not yet mature, it is great for the vast majority of folk who are happy to use the many apps available. But it isn't yet capable of doing anything for my particular creative needs. Maybe at some point in the future it will do what I need. Until then I won't be interested in the iPad, be it version 3, 4 or 40.

Do you mean placing files (pictures) onto a website / Blog? Or uploading actual website files?

Dropbox can do the the first, well for me at least. I leave website creation to the iMac on my desk.

I mean all of those, and I know I can do all from my Mac..

What I've been responding here is that iPad (or more appropriately IOS) are not yet mature enough to deal with those things.. Why should I need to go via Dropbox? I look after several websites and would love to be able to move files using an iPad, but we're some way from that.

IOS has it's roots in the iPod and iPhone, effectively the iPad, for me at least, is nothing more than an oversized iPhone without the capability to telephone.

It has the potential to be so much more, but until IOS allows us to access our files through a proper file management, won't ever fulfil that potential.

lilo777 seems to think I don't see the problem (of sharing large movies or dealing with multiple projects and docs), but this is of course false. He still hasn't explained why a filesystem is the only solution (let alone the best one) to such problems, which is the point.

EDIT: the sign of maturity isn't iOS getting a filesystem; it's the user realizing that there are multiple solutions to achieve work and leisure tasks and that current filesystem GUIs aren't necessarily the best way for iOS to go (they just appear that way to those with a limited imagination or who like the security of old ways of doing things - it makes them feel like they are doing Real Work when they are just playing with an interface, nothing more)
