    News - iPhone 4 reportedly boasts twice the RAM of iPad

    More memory is always useful, so why did Apple only give the iPad 256MB?

    Because the iPad 8J is coming out next year.

    Or whichever irrelevant number/letter combination they pick this time round.

    And with another £/$100s added to the price. No doubt 1000s will still upgrade.

    Re: News - iPhone 4 reportedly boasts twice the RAM of iPad

    Yet another reason that Apple hardware is rubbish.... I mean come on, does anyone think they are serious about multi-tasking which such a small amount of RAM? Even my HTC Desire has 576mb of RAM... vastly superior for multitasking!

    Agree with Snootyjim!

    If Apple gives its first generation of iPad a full hardware configuration, then those users who have bought iPad would not spread their pennies on the iPad 4G that may be released in 2011 or 2012.

    So Apple knows 256MB really is much better than 128MB, however, it has to built the base for hot-sale of 2rd iPad or iPad 4G
