Re: Cheapish iPads?



Kevin,

If you're dedicating the iPad to music work only, 16 GB may very well
be enough. I took that approach with my iPod Touch, dedicated it to
JUST music apps and I'm doing okay on space.

I went whole hog and bought a 64 GB, but I'm in a situation of having
to use it for both work purposes and for music (which is why I'm
seriously considering a second iPad that I can  dedicate for one use
only — thinking 16-32GB).  Right now, I have 131 apps on the 64GB iPad
and it's taking up 7.2 GB … so there's still TONS of space. I try NOT
to keep any production audio files on it, there's only a little music
on it. Mostly, when I'm using it for music, I run the outputs to a
recorder.

Let me know if you need anymore details. (And anyone else who is 
interested!)

Best,

Dennis
