Funny you mention slapping in an SD card and viewing pictures. Because the thing I hate about most picture-viewing apps in Android right now is that they don't pay attention to the directory hierarchy. So instead of just giving me everything under /DCIM/ (which may in turn be usefully organized by different camera apps), I get all JPEGs on the filesystem, therefore lots of album art cluttering my photos.

I think this came about when Google moved away from a hierarchy-based view of local files, toward a semantic-based view.

.... Which is not to say that I'm against the semntic stuff, just that I'm wary of dropping/hiding the hierarchical filesystem in favor of it. As a desktop KDE user, I'm actually very interested in trying out Plasma Active at some point, probably either on my Nexus 7 or on a future laptop that was built for Win8.
