File managers may be out, but photo apps might be OK: they just need to somehow request full access to /DCIM through this new API (which I have not looked at). music & video players may be more awkward but possibly doable.


So moving from Android to iOS will be less painful in the near future. I think traversing the whole filesystem and adding a big SD Card are key features in Android devices.

If Apple launches a device with a bigger display they will eat part of the Android ecosystem.


or if/when amazon releases a phone based on their android fork..


At the end I would prefer to run a full desktop operating system with a mobile UI in the device.
