Understatement. Sloppy programming. Wasn't it Apple who commented how much room Windows took at one time?
a lot more dough than the standard $499 or $799, and, it's still all dependent upon the apps the user wants to get, and might still have to purchase even more memory after that. Upgrades and new features usually cost more dough to get the latest of a product or software package, but, the iPad3 is changing the whole equation about "upgrades" or "updates". Additional memory requirements are no laughing matter when talking about "upgrades" for iPads.
I wonder if Apple is disclosing to consumers the additional "must have" requirements to make the iPad3 useful. It should not be in the fine print of the purchase or instructions manual. It should be explained up-front, but each salesperson to each prospective iPad3 purchaser. If a person takes an iPad3 home, and then discovers that, it's basically useless for taking advantage of the retina display, the consumer should be allowed to return the product to the store, because, there was no mention of the additional requirements. That would constitute fraud for non-disclosure of the limitations. It would be the same as an electric car customer who pays his $45,000 , and then takes a cross-country trip in a vehicle which only gives him 35 miles on one charge, and then reads the vehicle manual to discover that, he's going to have to make the rest of the trip on gasoline alone, or he's going to have to wait for the battery to recharge at some out-of-the-way recharging station. If the car dealer had not told the customer about the limitations, then the dealer would be charged with fraud, and would have to take back the vehicle, and might even be subject to government actions and a lawsuit. (Might be an exaggerated comparison, but, it's mostly about the "non-disclosed" limitations).

So now in addition to the capabilities and hardware feature left out - you're short on memory and going to be gouged to increase it!
Brilliant - I can see the lemmings pouring over the cliff on this one.

"Why didn't the new iPad come with expandable storage?" Why pay Amazon $25 for an SD card, when folks can pay Apple $200 for the same thing?
