Ok, thanks all. I've got my ipad.
First I called the store and asked what's available. After getting told that there weren't 16gb models I committed to a 32gb one. Guess what. Once I arrived at the store, there was a line of 32gb models on the shelf and hidden between those was ONE 16gb unit. So I immediately grabbed this one
So far I'm happy with it. There are some minor hiccups like having to use itunes instead of windows explorer to move things around, but I guess I get used to that. There are some more smaller annoyances like registering for an account and having to give them my address even though I'll only use itunes-cards, but I can live with that.
And I knew front up before I bought, so I guess it's ok for me.
So, thanks a lot for support, advice and some insight in your ipad habits.
