I agree with all your points.
How does a 16gb ipad weigh the same as a 128gb ipad?
do they just condense all the storage onto one chip which weighs the same?

Yes, it's all one chip. If you buy a 16GB iPad, you get a single 16GB chip. If you buy a 128GB iPad, you get a single 128GB chip.
478 vs 341. A roll of pennies isn't heavy to me but the problem still is portability for some. How many can fit an Air into one their pockets? The allure of the Mini!!

I thought the same thing. Maybe the title should read 55 pennies.
Digital storage doesn't take up space/weight the way physical storage does..the chip is the same size, physically.
To get old-school, an 80MB CD-R is the same size/weight as a 4GB DVD-R.

crap, sorry, clearly I've been reading too much gizmodo. they'll say anything for a click.
I don't get it. A dollar bill weighs 1 gram. Is this a non-US currency thing?
A stack of 137 $1 bills is quite hefty. Ask the lap dance bar employees...
