I have 93 MB free internally, 8.8 GB free externally, and I've moved as much onto the card as I can without losing functionality. My experiences with *that* lead me to think cloud storage would be the same or worse.
I would definitely want more storage in a tablet and I think even 16 GB is too small.

Pre-ICS phones has a separate partition for the apps and another one for data. It was a compromise, you could end up with too much data data space but out of app space, or vice-versa. With ICS and JB the whole of the available space (after the OS is taken into account) is available for whatever is needed, so you won't run out of apps space while you still have several gigabytes for data; incidentally the reason ICS no longer supports UMS. Still, this is at the manufacturer's discretion, they don't have to follow this and could partition the internal storage as it was done pre-ICS.
