Found a program called iFunbox for windows which uses the iTunes drivers but allows me to drag n drop movies onto the iPad. However, due to the gay way that Apple won't handle DTS on mkvs, I have to convert my mkvs in Handbrake before OPlayer HD Lite on the iPad, will play them. Massive time suck, but the HD quality in bed with bluetooth speaker is nice!

which is why I have an Android Tablet - Find file, drag and drop, play

And that is why I use a Windows tablet, no converting or copying, just unplug it from the desktop docking station and use it as a tablet in bed.

Which is why I have a Mac. No need to plug, unplug, drag or drop. If I have it in one place I have it in all places.

The same as a Windows tablet, unplug yout Mac from your Thunderbolt display when you leave, plug it back in when you get back... That is what I meant, not that it is plugged into another computer.

Re: iPad help for PC user

You can all argue platforms all you want. You still need a router and a fast wifi/wired network.

All this cloud bollocks is annoying. I want to be able to move my data where I want it and USB is most obvious way to do it when you're without a network.

Maybe I'm just old.

Maybe you are, but it's still true. In the olden days, it was floppy disk, then CD and now it's USB. I know that CD is not "normally" re-writeable, but it's still moving data, and it's a lot more convenient than using the cloud.
