Android

Oh see, I've never had issues at all concerning file recognition on my Android devices, though I'd never bother with syncing the files over since drag and drop seems to be both more consistent and easier. That mixed with a proper and free file manager makes it a pretty simple thing. Also, rooting tends to be fairly easy if that's a thing you're interested in, which makes all of those function much better.
Though yeah, never assume this is a laptop or netbook replacement. Stuff like Evernote and Google Docs goes a long ways towards putting them down the path though.

Honestly, this is why I love my Note. It is a large smartphone, but it's not significantly smaller than some tablets. I have no use for a full-size tablet, and a 7" one seems like a waste when I always have my phone on me. (Battery life could be much better, of course)

For me, having the iPhone always on me easily trumps the ease of use of any larger tablet.
My wife, being used to carrying a handbag large enough to hold an iPad, feels the opposite.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note running Jelly Bean (4.1.2) via CyanogenMod 10.

I have a T-Mobile MyTouch Slide 3G running CyanogenMod 7 (Android 2.3.7). Last I checked, there were no more recent versions available for my phone.

Pros: Connectivity
Cons: Productivity
Which is to say, it's good as a phone/web browser/navigator but don't expect to do any work on it. It doesn't even have its own file manager, and accessing files outside of the storage directory is almost made impossible. I recently tried some audio recording applications, and the resulting 150+ MB files were, inconceivably, nowhere to be found when my phone was connected to my computer. I'd be staring right at them on my phone's screen, and my computer would just show an empty folder.
I've never used a tablet myself, so I can't provide a definitive judgement, but if I needed a tablet/netbook hybrid (tabletbook?) I'd go with a Windows-based one. It's just way more versatile, and I'd willingly sacrifice however much ease of use Android provides for touch-based devices.

There are file managers available on the Android Market/Google Play/whatever it's called this week, if your phone's manufacturer's ROM doesn't include one. Astro is the one I used before I installed CyanogenMod (which comes with its own file manager), and it's pretty good.

I need to look into that. I tried downloading some pics onto mine, only to find that they were nowhere to be found.
