How does "twice the RAM!" help in that comparison? Does it give you any idea that things are better?
It does tell me that Apple is trying to shortchange me, that I would have a better user experience on an iPad2 with 1 GB of RAM than on the actual iPad2 with 512GB. And it makes me think that I shouldn't support those that give me cheaper components even though they charge very high prices and try to tell me it is for my own good. Instead of giving me a choice of buying an iPad2 with microSD slot and more RAM or a cheaper version as they have it now.
