That is because apps designed for it will be larger (bitmap resources are 4x larger), 1080p video is roughly 2x bigger than 720p, 5MP pictures are 5x bigger than 1MP pictures, etc. Not to mention that media-laden .ibook's can be 1-2GB each (maybe even more when updated to target iPadNew).

It depends what you use the iPad for, of course. Many people will, I'm sure, use it primarily for e-mail, web-browsing, and reading documents. They will benefit from the better text rendering of the higher-resolution screen, and will probably find 16GB storage entirely adequate.
