iPad2 64g WIFI

Was talked out of getting 64g WIFI+3G when I was waiting in the line on iPad2 release day!

Now wish I got 3G...I travel a lot.

I'm just a simple guy so I bought the iPad 2 in white, 32gb and wi-fi only.
I used a cunning plan and bought it for my wife as readers of other sections of this forum will know . :D

One thing that puzzles me a lot though, is this.
At the time that I bought my iPad in the Apple Store in Southampton (UK) my model of iPad cost £420. The 64 gb version costs £478. A difference, you will agree of £58.
Now, folk keep telling me that they bought the 64 gb version because they wanted to have a gazillion movies on their iPad. Fair enough, but is it worth the extra £58 when even with the 16 gb version you could have, say, 5 movies on board. I can't foresee a time when I would want to sit somewhere and watch even 5 movies one after the other, never mind a gazillion. The battery wouldn't last that long anyway.
With the 32 gb, I have 10 movies on tap in iTunes and, when going out for the day with the grand-kids, I just make sure there are 3 films for them to choose from.

Even crazier is that I now have 4 x 8gb SD cards, courtesy of eBay, @ £5.95 each which each take a minimum of 6 films. They connect to the iPad 2 using a "2 in 1 USB SD camera connection kit reader for Apple iPad", again bought from eBay for a total of £4.38 inc UK postage.
I was dubious as to if the SD cards would work, as anybody would be at that kind of price, so I bought 1 and gave it a thorough going over when it arrived. Even to the extent of contacting Sandisk. It all worked fine and Sandisk said it wasn't a fake so I then bought 3 more from the same guy.
Oh, yeah, the Connection kit works perfectly as well and at £4.38 it was a lot cheaper than Apple's £25 gizmo that does just the same thing.

So now, even more, I struggle to see a logical reason for the ordinary user to buy the 64 gb model.

Cheers, m'dears,
Steve

iPad 2 32GB wifi black, I use my wifi hotspot on my phone for "free" 3G coverage. I still have to pay the phone bill, but I don't see the need to pay another monthly charge for 3G when I already have it that I can share :)
