bottom line, your ipad will be more valuable to you if you can put more things inside

dont make the mistake in limiting yourself

This is idiotic advice. Many people have usage patterns that don't involve music, games, locally stored movies, or anything else that requires significant storage.

Smart advice is to describe what the additional storage allows. Then people can evaluate if additional storage is something they will need.

Of the 16GB iPads issued to our employees, I have never once witnessed one filled to capacity. Our needs just don't involve local storage that comes close to filling up a 16GB iPad.

Agreed. I have a 16GB iPad 2, it's been fine.

I actually downgraded (my upgrade?) from a 32GB iPad 2 to the 16GB new one. I am somewhat concerned but it's not the end of the world. I'll load everything on it I plan on using regularly based on what I had synced prior and if I find it's inadequate, I'll return it to Apple and get a 32GB instead.

Based on my prior usage, I usually keep a number of books/documents, a few "classic" movies I'd like to watch once in a while before falling asleep, and maybe a few games that are graphic heavy that I don't really play all that often, really. No music as I use Rdio and store music on my iPhone, and I also have Dropbox storage. I think I'll be fine.

After restoring from iCloud and updating, I have 146 apps including GarageBand installed and 8.8 GB free.

32 would be a nice luxury but sure looks like I can live with 16.

Rather than accept the fact that everyone uses their devices in different ways, posters spend way too much time trying to convince others to use "their" ipads like they do.

Apple makes different strokes for different folks. I guess all us stupid people should not even own an ipad if we don't buy a 64GB.

BTW I did get a 32GB!

Had the 16gb iPad and the iPad 2 and never came close to filling either of them up. My main photo aplomb is on my iMac and I stream Netflix and iTunes movies so I don't see whywould need a larger memory unit
