File browsing in iPad?

I am thinking of buying an iPad but I am bit confused about few bits.

Is there any way to browse file system in iPad (like Explorer in Windows)?

How do I transfer photos from SD card to iPad?

It seems some very basic operations are too complex in iPad :mad:

    nope no file browser at all.

    you have to sync it with an computer and that is how you put stuff on it, just like an ipod.

    to put photos on from a camera you have to buy the camera adaptor then you connect it to the ipad and they come up on the ipad and then you copy them to it.

    might be worth considering that the ipad 2 might be comming out very early in the new year.

    I never used Apple product before. Looks like avoiding Apple products so far was a right decision :)

    It is surprising that I need to use a PC to use iPad!

    ITS AN IPOD ON STEROIDS. If you want a portable version of a computer, you shouldn't buy an iPad.
