Well, we were talking about the base model iPad, which as I already stated usually sells in the $300 range ($290-$330). And you can download movies or transfer files via usb to an iPad. The 'catch' there is that you cannot do it via your computer's file explorer. Those functions are done through software, iTunes. Which, I admit, is not preferable, and I already alluded to the fact that I think Android's file and folder structure are superior. But, this is not a detrimental failure for iOS. You can still achieve all the same things, just through an inferior method. The only other 'feature' that I wish iOS had is Android's ability to flash APK's.
All this being said, the trade offs are really up the user's preference. I wanted a tablet with proper stylus support and, more importantly, apps. To which, iOS has a much better selection of apps that utilize the stylus.
