Yes I have an opinion: You're an attention whore and I'm glad I trolled you out of retirement because watching you make a fool of yourself has never gotten old. :up:

I manage on an 8 gig phone so 16 should be plenty if she's not filling it with pics or videos.

I think the bigger ones hold their resale value a bit more but if you plan on keeping it till it dies that's no worry.

You're a fat angry nerd and your opinion of me couldn't mean less. Please continue to praise yourself for something as stupid as trolling. It only adds to how pathetic your existence really is. :olo: :up:

But after playing with a few and considering she has an iPhone and iPod touch, she decided on the iPad. So for Christmas I got the wife a Gen 4, 16GB iPad. After further thought I was wondering if I made the right choice. She doesn't plan to do much of anything but surf the web and Facebook. Should I take the 16GB version back for something more or do you think it will suffice?

iPad itself was a good choice, I had an android tablet for a year my wife never liked it, she took over my iPad shortly after I got it. Browsing, shopping, email, netflix, a few games I was impressed how fast she took to it. 16GB should be good for the browsing and occasional games, but I'm currently running into an issue with storage. I'm switching all my magazine subscriptions over to digital and finding that most mags are 500MB each issue. so storage management is now an annoying chore.

4th gen is awesome don't get me wrong, if she is only ding email and browsing, based on my use I would trade it in if it was unopened for a 64GB iPad 2. Specs don't impress the wife it's all about usability.

lol wut

i don't know what magazines you're subscribed to, but isn't there a web equivalent that doesn't burn thru your storage at that ridiculous rate (or at all, other than the cache)?

He suggested the iPad 2 64. I bought the iPad 16, gen 4. He's suggesting I sacrifice the innovations for more storage. So who has "cheaped out"? He expressed his opinion based on how he uses his iPad and I appreciate that. I see how my wife used her current phone and lap-top. Based on my research and the additional info provided by GH, I still think the 16gb version will work out fine. I also didn't want to buy outdated technology.

not bad, not bad... try a little more subtle next time though.
