I understand you really want to have all of your on it, Gabriel's opinion just hits the point, Apple will release different models of larger space and current ones have to be balance the prices. Wait and it will come true, any name will be great.

And that I think is right. The iPad uses solid state, NAND flash drive memory and not hard drive with moving parts, and so we all enjoy the speed and reliability. And of course they are pushing iCloud, a nice source of revenue.
Any flash drive greater than 64gig would be much more costly, so interesting to speculate what iPad will do to compete with MS Surface, and what drive will Surface have anyway as competition.
(Sorry relating to Archangel's comment but off the rails re screen sizes)

Yippee. Along with iPad mini a new 4th gen iPad. And it looks like the same exact storage. Oh well.

I want the Mini....I see a need for a tab in that size, but I don't object to larger tablets.

Movies are only one activity that I engage in and the tablet, with those tiny speakers, is not the thing to optimize for movies. For the old stuff I want on mine, the 4x3 screen is better. I actually use th entire screen when watching ST: Voyager. To me, that is the stuff to watch on a tablet. Or youtube videos. Stuff I find interesting but not stuff that where I'm really looking for a theater experience.

Mini with current or more memory to toss in the car and go, more memory for the 4x3 format is greatly needed and x1000 on Voyager!!

I think sometimes you folks are saying memory but mean storage!

They've never upgraded it because sales of the 64GB version are the lowest of the various models. You can't make a case for more space when people aren't using the max. I'd love a 128GB version, but it's not going to happen until the take rate improves. For now, I get by with my AirStash and 3 32GB flash cards.
