The iPad and its inability to batch transfer documents

Let's assume I go on a business trip somewhere. During the trip I create 10 text documents. When I get back home I want to transfer them to my standard Macintosh.

Alternative one. I use an EEE PC. As I create the documents, I save and edit them from my inserted SD Card. The steps to transfer are then:

1. Eject SD Card from EEE PC.
2. Insert SD Card in Macintosh using USB cable.
3. Highlight the files in the Finder and drag them to the harddisk.

You are done.

Alternative two. I use my iPad (which btw is more expensive than my EEE PC). I cannot save and edit directly to an external medium. The steps to transfer the files are then:

1. Switch on the iPad.
2. Open Pages.
3. Highlight document 1.
4. Tap on the transfer icon.
5. Select "Export".
6. Select a file format (like MS Word).
7. Highlight document 2.
8. Tap on the transfer icon.
9. Select "Export".
10. Select a file format (like MS Word).
11. Highlight document 3.
12. Tap on the transfer icon.
13. Select "Export".
14. Select a file format (like MS Word).
15. Highlight document 4.
16. Tap on the transfer icon.
17. Select "Export".
18. Select a file format (like MS Word).
19. Highlight document 5.
20. Tap on the transfer icon.
21. Select "Export".
22. Select a file format (like MS Word).
23. Highlight document 6.
24. Tap on the transfer icon.
25. Select "Export".
26. Select a file format (like MS Word).
27. Highlight document 7.
28. Tap on the transfer icon.
29. Select "Export".

33. Select "Export".
34. Select a file format (like MS Word).
35. Highlight document 9.
36. Tap on the transfer icon.
37. Select "Export".
38. Select a file format (like MS Word).
39. Highlight document 10.
40. Tap on the transfer icon.
41. Select "Export".
42. Select a file format (like MS Word).
43. Connect the iPad to the Mac.
44. Wait for the two devices to sync.
45. In iTunes, click on the iPad icon.
46. Click on Apps.
47. Scroll down to the bottom of the panel.
48. Click on Pages.
49. Highlight all the documents.
50. Click on Save to...
