"The folks at Macroplant LLC felt that folks may like to handle files on their iPads more like they do on their computers so they have released Awesome Files. The Universal App lets you create folders, add and view files to those folders as well share with others."

"There is an awful lot of hot air blown about accessing student work from "class sets" of iPads, via email, WebDAV, Dropbox etc etc. A little known and cool method is this… We all know that we can share via iTunes over USB to any Mac/PC with a recent version of iTunes. Well would you believe the same thing works without a cable and it doesn't have to be the Mac/PC that manages the devices. It means that any teacher can access all the students files on a device that has been "Saved to iTunes". You can even pick up the work, mark it and hand it back to the iPad whilst the iPad is still being used by the kids (unbeknown to the user!)."

That's a terribly low amount, given that it's a 64GB model."
