Default iPad without iTunes

I use share pod for my iPod but wondered if there is something I can use to copy videos and such without using iTunes to the ipad2.

I have ssh open andncan access the file structure but don't think apple allows that for drag and drop type access... I think an xml needs updating ?

iOS 5 is supposed to work without iTunes, no idea how you'd put music on it and no idea why you wouldn't use iTunes.

Heard of Home Sharing? I have 3 copies of iTunes running that keep themselves in sync.

I have one at home and one at work and when I plug my iPad in it says, you can not have an iPad sync'd with more than one account.

So no, clearly I haven't.. care to enlighten me ?

This true ?

"That's what stops people dead in their tracks. YES! This is OK, all it means is that it's going to erase the MEDIA content, not the other content from the other computer. It will put on the media you just enabled. Once this second sync is done your Apple device is now configured to sync between the two computers. You can go back and forth syncing between the two whenever you need to. So If I want to sync new notes , Apps or photos I sync with my MacBook Pro. If I want new movies, songs, or iBooks I sync with the iMac. I've been doing this ever since the first iPhone came out in 2007 and most recently with the iPad. It works great!" ?

If so Apple are terrible at customer experience.
