Actually 1GB is not 'only'. But yes, the politics of announcing iPads as 16GB etc versions, sometimes gives people a wrong impression of the device. After all, how many of us have 16, 32 or 64 GB of memory (RAM) in our computers..? Well, the 16 and 32 GBs might be but 64 GB...
The 1 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB values all refers to RAM sizes. Indeed confusion arises if the terms, memory, ram, storage are being use. Referring to Apples website the 16, 32, 64 GB values refers to the term
Storage. Of course to realize the Storage size/value Apple or any manufacturer uses RAM. The 1 GB size that I'm referring to in my thread also makes use of RAM but it is use by the OS while it is running an app. To make the distinction and avoid misinterpretation between Storage and this another RAM, I use the word memory. These terms are standard terms that one usually encounters in technical media. I'm not telling anybody to accept all this terms that I'm using but it is provided here for the sake of understanding when I use them in my inputs in this thread.
I definitely agree to what you have written, many have the 4, 8, 16, 32 GB memory computer systems nowadays. But 64 GB? I really don't know how many! All I can say, it is possible. The confusion resulting to a wrong impression I agree is the way the Ipad is being announced.
Thanks for the input. I do appreciate your insight.
