The iPad Has A Plenty Computer Like OS Now
It has that now. You are just rationalizing your unwillingness to spend the money to own one now.
I love my iPad, and when a newer, faster, more powerful version comes out early in 2011, I'll get that and sell this one. My guess is the actual "upgrade" price will only be a couple of hundred bucks, and I got to enjoy this one for nearly a year.
I imagine Apple scimped on certain physical features for the iPad so that, come 'iPad 2', there would be more of a reason to upgrade.
One of these is obviously the RAM, would will no doubt be 512mb in the next rev. They'll likely put in a Camera too.

iPhone 4 keeps getting better and better! Good news for future owners.
I cant wait till THURSDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Not very happy about the memory upgrade from the ipad. Not an iphone user due to the fact that network/internet is more important to me than the smartphone I use. Droid fits me just fine especially once i can tether.
What upgrade? You're not under contract and your iPad was not subsidized. You will pay full price unless Apple takes old models back in an exchange program.
I have an iPad and this thing works too well to complain about not having some extra ram like the new iPhone. it's totally understandable to me given the fact that you can shoot and edit HD video on the device. I'm pumped that the new iPhone will have the extra ram, and I'm getting mine on the 24th, but calling the iPad obsolete is such crap! it's a wonderful device for a first gen and everyone knows it!!
I think he means the 'upgrade price' as in the difference between what he sells his iPad for against the cost of a new iPad
I feel really gypped that my iPad only has 256mb of RAM. Compared to the iPhone 4, it makes my iPad seem outdated. RAM is so cheap these days.
For those that do not have an ipad there will be considerable differance from an ipad with 512 vs 256 mb ram. Personally i would rather have 1 gig. My chess crashes a lot and i do not like the buffer problem that the ipad has when you open more than 1 web page. You have to wait for the ipad to redownload the web page when you have more than 1 web pahe open. I suspect the multitasking will also create problems for the 256 ram.
Thats what I want to know aswell but technically it should be the best phone for reception due to all the work on the antenna
If for some reason the RAM was so important to you (and I can't imagine what that reason would be), you shouldn't have purchased an iPad.
More ram is allways good!!!
This is Great News!!! playing around with my 3GS with iOS 4 GM and some of the new apps that take advantage of iOS 4 fast app switching you can see the need for more ram. Depending on the app I say it can have around 5 apps "Running" ("frozen" in ram). One thing i do not like thought is, say i load a 6th app that is kinda big, the OS will then kill ALL the other apps that were running (not the phone and daemons of course) this sorta sucks.
Also when the OS kills or you manually kill an app, the apps do not save their state to the flash. so when you open them up again its like opening it up for the first time. I know this can be some what be faked with coding (using a database), but no one seemed to do this with their iPhone OS 3 apps so i doubt any one will now. I wish apple figure out a way to use some other kind off highly read writable flash like SDD or something to fix this issue.

That's a bit backwards! It's not like Apple openly admit that the iPad has 256mb RAM and shows you the limitations this brings. If the iPad regularly runs out of RAM (which it does), Apple should have put more in it. They went backwards since the 3GS has enough RAM.
