How much free space do I need?

[Max Death]

My iPad 1 tells me I have 2.1 gigs available. Just how much free space do I need to keep? On a p.c. I usually keep a few gigs free for swapping. Would the iPad be the same? Thanks for any info in advance.

Good question. It seems that the file system/drive/formatting is completely different on iPads though when compared to a pc. On a pc it definitely has adverse affects but I have never noticed those same affects on either iPhones or iPods.
