To think that totalitarians like yourself live in a democracy is frightening. Not only do you put up straw men, but you put forward a self-contradicting argument simply to serve your own purpose.
All the 'average' user wants to do is use email, browse the web and watch the occasional video. Why should we increase hardware performance, or increase specs of any kind if it's not currently requested by the 'average user'. Your mentality is anti-progressive, and adding extra storage for users who use the iPad as a computer, which is what it is, will in no way harm the average user who just wants a fancy web browser. In no way are you knowledgeable about what the purpose of an iPad is, so don't try and assert a point of view based on ignorance as though it were fact.
btw, the most popular iPad model, even though it's more expensive, is the 64BG 3G model, then followed by the 16GB model. It's hilarious to find people like you who know nothing and expect people to swallow what you say when google is at one's fingertips.
