32GB..my IPHONE is 16 and since I have other :apple: products I figured I didn't need everything on this IPAD. Plus it's my first so it seemed better to go with 32..not too much and not too little. Perfect decision.
 
I got the 64GB after going with 32GB with my first two iPads. The amount of apps I install and the fact that they will be larger to accommodate the retina display made getting a 64 GB model a no-brainier.
 
I went for the 32 because my past experiences with 16gb iDevices were very restrictive and annoying. I'm glad because when I loaded it up for the first time, straight from the get go I already had 28.9gb left and that was without touching it. Imagine what you'd be left with on a 16 and then have to cram in as many apps and movies as I do.
 
32 because I was fine with 16 on the 2 and while the 64 is a better value its not like its some great deal on the extra 32 for $100.

I went with 32 on the iPad 3 partially out of concern of retina app sizes (seems ok so far but we'll see once 2d games update or 3d games add higher textures) and also since I dont expect to upgrade until the 5th gen now and even if I could get away with 16 now I doubt I could for 2 years.
 
16

While the retina display and 1 gig of RAM are fantastic for hi res pr0n, I don't need or want to actually store it.

Did u get4g?
 
16 gb black wifi:apple:

I'm a college student and I don't have time for watching videos on it. Hence

smallest size for books and browsing.

I already filled 5 gigs worth of books and reading materials. I will be using my

iPhone for music. 5 gigs of reading should last me for very long time.

After reading about so many people exchanging their 16 to 32 I was

contemplating also but extra $100 seems overkill for my needs.

All in all iPad is nice but so far but I can't look at it more than a gigantic

iPod/iPhone.

P.s. having limited space would mean you will know your iPad corner to corner. Think of it as a time management;)(space management)
 
32gb because of price. If it becomes insufficient, I figured I will just have to manage storage (removed unused apps, content, etc.)
 
I used my iPad 1 and will use my iPad 3 as an internet device. All music and photos are stored on my 32-GB iPhone 4S. I seldom game and don't watch videos on the iPad.

Last night I cleaned up my 16-GB iPad 1, which has been updated with iOS 5.1. At the start, it had 12.1 GB free; now it has 12.9 GB free.

I purchased a 16-GB iPad 3. I'll take the $108 or $216 that I saved and put it towards a new Mac Mini when next updated.
 
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm feeling a bit low now on my 16GB :eek: might send it back to apple store and get a 32GB like most of you guys/girls..I was fine with 16GB on my iPad 2 but this new iPad seems to eat up more memory due to retina display that apps will be bit more fatty..:eek: hope this nasty rain clams down so I can drive to the apple store..I hope they still have iPads in stock:confused:.. Decisions decisions I knew I had a feeling when I bought it when apple guy said what model and size I want..:eek: always listen to your gut feeling:D
 
I've had all 3 iPads...all of them 64GB 3G versions in Black...

Amongst other things, I use my iPad to watch video on long plane trips. Maybe I'm a little spoiled but I like a large selection of things to choose from. I never know what I'll be in the mood for that day...drama, comedy, etc.

I picked 64 but I really would have liked a 128 MB! Can't have enough space with apps taking upwards of 800MB (Ashphalt6 for example) and 1080 videos going at 1.7 Gb per hour show. Space goes fast!

Even setting up my new iPad off the last backup of my iPad 2 I noticed a jump in the memory used. Definitely needs to have more space in the next go round for those that do a lot of different things with the iPad.

Chose the 16g because I don't store video or music on my iPad permanently. The only thing I keep on there are apps.

Only thing I keep on mine is apps too and I still needed 32GB. I've got 15GB left and a year to go :)
 
32gb

Until the iPad gets 128gb and bumps the ram even further, I can't justify buying the 64gb.

This might sound a little silly, but with the 32gb Wifi iPad and smart cover/Applecare + it's only $200 shy of the cost of an introductory MBA (educational discount/taxes) no other accessories. I lucked out this time around because of the $350 in Apple gift cards I had here (so to get a 32gb wifi for less than the 16gb version was a real plus).

I'm looking forward to keeping this iPad for a while. And like other folks, music is on my 16gb iPhone.
 
Some of the big apps are taking up 1-2Gb and theyre not even retina yet. 32Gb has got to be a minumum unless youre just web browsing
 
I have a 32GB now, im sending my ordered 16GB one back

I don't keep music or movies on it but Apps are taking up a lot of space.
