Apple really ought to put 1 GB of memory in the iPad. 512 MB will not cut it for very long, and the current 256 MB is laughable.

- mishmash 16y ago...and the current 256 MB is laughable. Except to the 15 million people who bought it last year.
- mdemare 16y agoEspecially to those people. I bought one, and the lack of memory is very annoying, particularly when browsing (constant reloads).
- masklinn 16y agoNo, it's worse for them. This is even noticeable when using Safari: the iPad can hardly keep a pair of pages in memory, it refreshes them all the time (very similar to the experience on a 3G). The iPhone 4's experience is much smoother as it has enough RAM to keep web pages cached as you switch between them.
- rythie 16y agoIt's pretty annoying, Atomic Web is always running out of memory
- iPadDeveloper 16y agoHere's my concern: my iOS game runs the iPhone at a nice warm temperature. At the retina resolution, either frame rate will drop or the iPad will get hot. It will need horsepower, but if doesn't get the horsepower, it might just run slower. It's hard to say. 256MB of RAM is fine for most types of games.
