Are any of you considering getting one?

It seems a lot more powerful than the first one and held off buying the first one in the hope that the next version would be better.
So I'm seriously considering getting one now...once it arrives, of course. :)

Not available in Russia over there yet? Here it goes like the old one, 16GB for $499 and up, etc.

I'm sorta waiting for a free 'lite' version myself.
:P

We're not that much behind - a couple of weeks...it should be here on the 25th.
I'll probably just get the 16GB model.

You will regret it if you plump for the 16g. Go for the largest you can possibly afford. Trust me on this, you will soon fill it and there is no way to expand.

the only problem is prices in Denmark is typical highere...... for me, I have only used around 8gb, but have not installed very much music on it or other kind of "book" media. So its depend of use of course.

Mine Phone is a 16gb.

With the iPad, you do tend to have larger games, and store movies and TV on it (along with music and stuff).

I have 64g and I manage to fill it up pretty easy. I didnt at first, but I find I use it more and more and want more and more on it. Kinda compulsive really.

I may go for a 32g one then, but I think that's my limit. I doubt I'll have a use for more as I won't be using it for music and I doubt I'll be watching TV on it. It'll be primarily for games/development and surfing.

There is reallo no digital movie & tv market in Denmark. So i guess its not a option for use for iPad anyway. So no wonder movie and tv Piracy is somewhere high as a last heard.

Music is nothing problem at all. There is many digital market yet.

Also I don't have plan for watch movies either, so 16gb is all fine really. I even only used half of memory in my phone....
