Different architectures, different OS's, etc. You can't even compare. Further the iPad has "limited" multi-tasking even with 4.2.1.

I think a one-word answer could have shut-down this discussion before it even got off the ground: Adequate. The iPad has adequate RAM for the tasks it does. End of story.
History lesson: For decades the Bentley supercar company staunchly refused to publish their engines' HP or Torque specs, instead only saying power was "adequate" to achieve their performance goals. Bentley saw their vehicles as being "above" banal numbers and figured the buyers of their $200,000+ luxury cars were buying a complete transportation package and wouldn't really care about the numbers anyway. Plus, the company didn't want to be seen as engaging in a belittling "horsepower war". Their strategy was very successful and car enthusiast magazine editors wrote ad infinitum about their efforts to determine the actual HP & Torque figures from test cars. And in the end, not one of them ever stated that the engines were anything other than "adequate".
