The best part? You don’t even need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, as long as your computers are within range of one another an ad-hoc network will be created between the two Macs to send the file. AirDrop is the fastest way to send files between Macs hands down and there’s virtually no configuration required to use it.

To restrict it to only computers and not the tablets "everyone" is actively using is borderline moronic. Even without an overall file system Apps (even Apple 1st party Apps) should be able to send, receive, and retrieve from shared files. With the Apple "education" press conference coming up it strikes home even more. Currently it's a mess to get students to pass work back and forth to each other out of Pages on the iPad. Try to do any kind of group project through iPads alone and you'll see why I caps locked what I did. It will get worse if Apple doesn't change something, assuming they are going to use ePub 3, as there is virtually no way to pass and share notes on current iBooks. Teachers can't really create callout notes or bookmarks for students as additional reference. Apple can make it work, they just refuse to.
