I must admit, although I was always saying that the 64GB iPad is the one I would get, I am wondering if I couldn't get away with the 32GB one, as it is quite a jump purely for 64GB. -- Woody

Videos will take more space for the higher resolution of the iPad. A gigabyte's about what an HD (H.264) version of a normal length TV program needs, and I guess iPads will want HD. -- Chris

Too expensive, and damn Apple for putting the GPS on the 3g board. And for not using the iPhone as a data connection (or GPS, for that matter!).

It doesn't take you to a picture, but to a place where you can download a picture of the iPad. But first you have to agree that you mustn't put a picture of an iPad on your t-shirt, since "Any misuse of the Image or breach of this Agreement will cause Apple irreparable harm." The chance to cause irreparable harm to such a totalitarian company is not to be rejected lightly, I think. MST

Certainly I consider this sort of thing http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2010/05/ipad_will_it_shred.html to be the likely downfall of Apple.
