We are moving away from file systems in case you haven't noticed that trend, it started with the use of libraries.
Have fun with your upcoming Android phone.I would define "we". I work IT, and I HATE, LOATHE and DESPISE when people have no idea where their data is, you can't properly manage or backup data if it is just magically associated with an application.
I am crazy excited to get a windows phone, but if they don't fix 2 things by the time my contract is up, android it will be for me, one: fix the .wav issue
two: I better be able to put files on my phone if I want, save files from an email on my phone, and download files to my phone. It's mine, not yours, you let me do what I want with my storage.
Because the file explorer on iOS is fantastic
Random PDFs accessed through the web never showed up automatically in the Office hub in my WP7 usage. I'm pretty sure they get saved to the isolated storage of Adobe Reader, the PDFs in the Office hub were stored in SkyDrive.Really? So they did a backward step in this regard? Pdf files that were opened on a wp7 device would be automatically saved to the office hub.
I have a Lumia 920. I have installed the PDF reader app. It doesn't work well at all. I have only been able to get it to view one simple PDF (single page) that I created using Word on my PC. I was hoping to be able to view PDF magazines on my phone, the PDF reader won't open them. I tried taking the magazine PDF and using a PDF print driver printing it down to a simpler PDF, but it still won't open them. Transferred the files using skydrive.
Really need a good PDF reader here.
iFile and similar apps are not file explorers, they don't let you browse through everything like you could on a computer or Android. They just organize things you upload into it, and you can make a similar app for WP8.Yes iFile is amazing. It's $4 if you want all the features but the free version still gets the job done.

We are moving away from file systems in case you haven't noticed that trend, it started with the use of libraries.
Operating systems are. It started subtly with the introduction of libraries instead of only directories. Now we have integration of cloud services to save documents directly to Skydrive and other services, Windows 8 Storage Spaces, etc... Combine that with mobile device UI's and we are moving away from a transparent directory system to a more intuitive system where things are just shown where they need to be (regardless of where they are). That's the direction we are headed, it doesn't matter what directory a song is it just shows up in Music or where an Excel file is it just shows up in Documents, etc...

\That makes no sense. Directories are where files are. A directory that is shared with external services (whoevers service it is) is still user accessible in sane environments.
