Lucky for me, I've avoided app fever and seem to be pretty good about managing my app space and usage. This is part of the reason why I never get people need so much storage on their iPad! I have trouble using 32 GB! I think a lot of apps just sound cool or you think they are gonna solve a problem. Sometimes, they solve a problem that didn't actually exist or just don't do what you think they will. App removal is your friend too. You can always redownload them if you find you miss them. I've rarely had that happen though. If the app is good it stays, if it sucks then its bye bye.
Most apps are tiny....it's games that take up the real space....at least on my iPads....
Mine, too. I have a lot of music, audiobooks, videos and photos. Most of my apps are small potatoes by comparison, especially because I don't play games.
As for managing space or not, I see no need to manage unless I can't afford more space.
To me...every time I had an app to be device, that makes my iPad experience just a little more different than what the next person has. I see this as a form of customization. When I think of the screen number of things I can bring to the screen, it in a way, makes the device offer more power in that I can do a lot more things....app bloat has pros and cons....
My problem was downloading so many "might be useful someday" utilities that I couldn't remember what each one did. I decided I didn't really need 6 note taking apps and 4 PDF readers...and that I must resist adding even more to the collection!
As for getting out of the recliner to do work on the iMac...I just downloaded Splashtop 2, and can now run the iMac from my iPad. Laziness is preserved through technology.
