Something just came to mind. As everything from videos to audiobooks from Audible (or other sources) seems to be increasing in size but devices such as tablets and even pocket devices are not. For example if one downloads audiobooks from Audible in the new Enhanced Apple format a 12hr book can just from about 200-300MB total for formats 3 or 4 to over 1GB when downloading in the Enhanced format. While I don't hear any difference from format 4 and often format 3 is just fine for spoken word, in fact many times I prefer format 3 but my remaing Audible compatible device only plays format 4, it's an OLD Creative Labs Zen Xtra Jukebox that I upgraded from 30GB to 100GB using an old laptop drive I no longer needed, took about 3-mins to swap drives and despite what Creative claims there is no reason not to make such a swap as long as you understand the right drives to use. But I am digressing here. Sorry...
But I got to wondering with the rapidly improving efficiency of SSD drives will the iPad two come in in 32gb, 64gb and either/or 128gb or larger options? I simply do not see an 8gb iPad as meaningful any longer just because of the proliferation of HD and other formats, larger file sizes for RAW format photos as well as the Audible Enhanced format being HUGE, I mean larger than most of the DVD movies we all own and find just fine, and we are taking just voice here for audiobooks.
Anyway, nobody has talked about the capacity being one of the potentially significant changes in the iPad 2. How nice would a 300-500gb iPad 2 be? Add to it an SD card of some sort and that might really give the competition a very advanced target.
Or would increasing the internal capacity simply slow the upgrade rate down for users?
