The iPad is an older project, when it started, on single task iPhoneOS 3.2, 256MB of RAM was the "right amount".
Now with iOS4, simil-multitasking and a lot of video to edit, 256MB seems just a bit to tight.
We have to wait and see if the release of the iOS4 for the iPad will bring come new hardware with it.
- masklinn 16y agoYeah but though I expect the iPad project was a closely guarded secret within Apple, iOS 4 likely wasn't, and the iPhone 4 was probably less of a secret than the pad. Why the iPad team didn't get any hints as to the amount of RAM to put in the thing is beyond me, especially as there are already reports of RAM-limitation issues on the pad (e.g. where iPhone 3gs Safari can keep half a dozen tabs around without reloading them all the time, iPad is apparently unable to)
