And 1GB of ram confirmed. Apple's policy of not mentioning the ram made sense to me when they started, because it did seem like a amount of ram in the initial model (256mb). But they've doubled the ram with each new generation and made no mention of it. I guess apple has just made the calculation that 1) it doesn't matter to most consumers (the ipad is supposed to be magic), and 2) they'll be outspeced by the competition over the lifetime of the model, anyway.

- InclinedPlane 15y agoRAM on a tablet affects performance in a very straightforward way. Why mention any specs if it's just a "consumer electronics device"? I think the reason they don't mention RAM is because they don't want to get in a silly numbers based arms race. They want to say "here's the whole package, it's pretty great, and better than the other guy's stuff, even if some of his specs are a little better on paper".
