You sill have to root it to make it usable.....
Both Android and iOs lock down the tablet.
erm, you dont have to root it for any mundane task I mentioned. I can copy over mp3's or whatever as I want.
Only reason I rooted is to use some overclocking software and WiFi tethering. Which is understandable as it may breach the data plan.
Other than that, you can still do lots of stuff not available to iOS even un rooted. I can compile my OWN code on my computer, with a totally free provided IDE and RUN it on my device without asking permissions from anyone. Can you beat that ? :lol:
