Umm, if it's on your dropbox or other filesystem you can use it on your iPad, no?

If you're going to make assumptions, you might as well just assume the MP3 magically appears on your device.

You see, I can USB-plug almost any Android device into any Windows or Linux machine, and transfer any files either way without installing any software. It just works.

Even with Dropbox, what if it's a 10GB file? Are you going to upload and then download it? Do you not see how ridiculous that is?

I don't, but it sounds like my use case is different from yours, so I guess what seems absurd to you is normal to me and vice versa.

Using a tablet to watch a movie on a plane is rather common use case.

With the right (free!) app, what you described works for iPads too.
