reason:

a) home share itunes
b) backup apps

i remember someone said his kid love to watch video on iPad...

now he/she can store it in PC and stream it using Home itunes share..

everyone have everyone usage, so i don agree with u. when vacation/long distance trip, i need to store high def movie, normally 1 movie is at least 2gb. + music,+apps,+huge storage HD games,+ backup for camera with camera connection kit, at least 32gb for me, and i bought the 64gb version.

(when vacation will bring ipad2 only, y bring laptop lagi... )

i cant even finish 16gb usage for movie i dont put HD and i rarely go for long trip ...even before home sharing i am using "air video" to play video on ipad through wifi ...

If im using windows,can use air video huh?

Why cripple yourself with 16gb... Just a little more and get urself a 32gb which is enough for the average user.

How about this:

i want 32 GB, but end up with 64 Gb cause out of stock...

yea ... air video is better than home sharing u dont need to convert to mp4

just curios, if u at home, and have another computer beside u to home sharing, y u choose to watch video via ipad instead of computer screen ?

Depends on different situation, if you have a computer in your room of course you will rather watch the movies through your computer. For my situation is, my pc is sitting at my living room on floor 1 while my wife in the bedroom situated at the 2 nd floor need to watch movies which store in the pc, I don't want to convert all those series and transfer in the iPad. I use AirVideo which will host from my pc and transfer through wifi to play it on the iPad without any glitch while playing by live converting, so it's pretty useful to me.

I myself Is using 16GB model. At first when I use iTunes U I said to myself that I bought the wrong model. However after calculating, if a video costs me 600mb, at most I could store up to 100 videos in a 64GB model. So it is better to store them into iTunes then load up a few for viewing at free times.

The hassle is to load and unload the files but even with a 64gb is frequency is just reduced. Not terminated. Therefore for a bit of hard work I saved RM600 for other uses.

Just as I'm buying wifi model instead of 3G model. The extra step to switch on my hotspot saves me RM63 a month which comes up to RM756 a year.

That's RM1,356 saved. Furthermore there's always cloud computing. Those apps especially games that I finished playing can be deleted from storage and redownload it whenever I want to play them again.

My ipad2 64gb left only 9gb. The video file dominate the most space. Even I m not in vacation.

I don't understand why some said 16gb is more than enough.

3G got GPS.

And pls backup your apps. If Apple delete the apps from their store, you can no longer access it.

because actually iPad is not for watching video one

why no more 3g version selling..all out of stock

well, its hard to get wifi everywhere you go.

So many bought 3g.

Huh! If it not for watching video than ipad is lame. I buying for video, music, reading and game.

i bought 32gb cos 16gb no more stock for white. lol and also i chose wifi cos i cannot afford to maintain another data line all models and types are suited for different users.

rich lazy users will prefer 64gb 3G version
budget and hardworking users will prefer 16gb wifi so

i buy ipad to spam LYN one. lOL

Maybe Apple tried to sell higher end stuff to u guys by using no stock tactic. MY GOD!!!

i really wonder why, when ipad1 everyone goes for wifi version

but when new iOS gives teethering over wifi, everyone goes for 3g version lol

just in such short term of time nia
