I do hope so. I've adjusted to using Zune to put podcasts ans such onto my phone but I really would like the ability to simply Copy/Paste files over onto a card or into my phone like back in the days of Activesync so I can have them on my phone without jumping through hoops.
If anyone has used Windows 8. Im hoping we at least see something like the File Share Charm. It works well and would also work on a phone for opening files or saving.
