Yeah, just read it on the news! 128GB was expected, but not so soon I guess. Yeah I hope iPhone also comes in that size one day.

16GB is fine for me. I am cloud based so not need for extra space that will never get used....

128GB ��!!!! Do u really need that much storage space? That's seems over the top, especially with everything being available on the cloud nowadays.
"the cloud" is useless when you can't access it... #justsayin'

Unless your are a Dj for entertainment and music files, what would one store on their iPad that they would have to have on them all the time.....

I just don't mean iCloud either. Many other cloud based systems are good and affordable.

Any "cloud" service is utterly useless if you can not access them... no wifi...no Cellular if you've got an iPad with cellular...

Apple must believe there's a market for this, or they wouldn't be doing it.

I agree .. Only way I would use that much is for music and movies stored locally I had a 64 and filled it with about 10 GB to spare full of photos music and movies
128 I prob would never buy unless I got a good deal on it lol

I think they are taking the approach for the people who only have iPads and not a pc anymore but that's a crap load of space

I think the 128GB option is amazing. Gives space for all the programs, books, movies, music, and magazines you could want. I have a wifi iPad and when I'm out traveling, I often don't get wifi. So having my music and videos and such right there available are a must. My next iPad may be 128GB.

I'm a digital packrat so I might be joining you at 128GB but not until the iPad 5.

I would love that for my iPhone! I did get the 64GB for my iPad Mini, and plan on upgrading space with my next gen iPhone. I use it as my primary camera these days, and keep *everything*. The more space, the happier I am!

That sounds great if you want a lot of music and movies. I got a 32gig iPad and with all my apps, photos and books I still have 22gigs left. 32 may have been overkill for me. My 16 gig iphone has 8 gigs left. I am middle aged and don't store much on it though.

Same here Alli.. 64gb Mini. Had the 16gb.. but during the Xmas Sale when all the High End games were only $0.99 I jumped on a half-dozen or so.. POOF! that 13.3 usable was gone! Thank Gawd I was in my 15 day return window :) got the 64gb and never looked back.. Another bonus is 64gb and up has the higher quality Dual-Density Chips for storage :)

I purchased the 64 because I like having some movies and my music but 128 is probably not needed for me
