    Hi,

    I want to get an ipad. I was going to get the 16GB 3G version and I am wondering will the 16gb be enough?

    I am also getting the S3 once its released and that comes with 50GB of dropbox storage which I can also use on the iPad?

    Will that be enough? I dont really want to spend the extra €100 for the extra memory but at the same time I dont want to find that its no good to me without the extra storage!

    If it makes a difference, I currently have a Xperia Arc S with low internal memory and an 8gb memory card and I an just about able to cope with it, but I wont have all of my photos and music on my ipad, they are all on my phone and laptop and will be on the dropbox incase I need them for some reason.

    The only thing that I will really have on it is a few apps and I will have about 3-4 movies on it at most at the one time, taking up about 6gb of space for the movies.

    Thanks

    Id go with the 32gb iPad everytime, its up to you though. Bare in mind that you'll prob only have in the region of 14gb of space anyhow with the OS taking up a bit of memory.

    Also, im not sure an android dropbox app will work with an ios device?
    im open to correction here.

    I have a 16 GB iPad and its fine for me , the only thing i store on it is apps and video with about 100 songs, That leave me plenty of room for my movies and tv shows.

    I also use Dropbox and Box for cloud storage as i've got about 60GB between the two.

    When you get the S3 you will able to use the 50GB of Dropbox storage as long as you log in using the same account.

    Decided to get the 32GB, won't like paying the extra €100 but I will be very happy when the day comes that I use over 16GB :)

    Complete and utter waste of money. Get a decent laptop instead. iPad tends to BR limited, laptop you can do countless amount of things!
