It's waste of money when you buy more than you need.

EXACTLY ;)

These people with this kind of talk about 64gb is funny!

If I knew I was gonna go over 32 I would buy the 64 .... but having a 16 I knew I cut it way to close and would like to fit just a little bit more.

I got the 32 cause I knew I needed it ... and money is really no object to me but why in the hell would i WASTE andother 100 bucks plus tax "Knowing" I wont use the extra 32 gig?

Let's all use our own judgement here people.

But if you are a standard user like me with a bunch of games, some great utility apps, you entire My Pictures album and maybe a couple songs ... then go with 32.

I think the 32 is worth it for the just a beyond standard user and the 64 is for the advanced user that does Tons.

If you are new and wont use it for much other then internet surfing and basic utility apps and a few games then 16 may work ... I made it word for a long time but after a good while and becoming a little more up there in use It was time to make a small jump.

Basic User: 16gb
Skilled User: 32gb
Advanced User: 64gb

You be the judge ... only YOU know what YOU do on your iPad! ;)
 
Just do it <- Nike

Then you wont have to worry about not having enough space. 32GB is the right decision, not too small, not too big.
 
Before you start making assumptions (exactly how much bigger do you guys expect these apps to get?!?!?!?) you should setup your 16GB iPad and see how much breathing room you have. If you get it close to full.....upgrade. You have 14 days. But if you don't even get the thing half full, you have nothing to worry about.

For me, I won't be loading it down with much media. With iTunes Match, most of my music will remain in the cloud until I decide to listen to it. Most of my photos except for specific one's I want to edit will be in the cloud. I'll only place movies on it on rare occasions and when I do, I tend to use Handbrake which is much better and delivering a well compressed video than what you rent from iTunes.

So I fully expect 16 GB to be fine....just like it was for my iPad 2.
 
I would if I were you. I plan on watching 1080P movies on this thing, and you need at least a 32gb to do this. You might could fit 1 movie on a 16gb, but it would probably use what's left of your memory.
