This is a discussion thread for the "Apple Announces 128 GB iPad with Retina Display" story posted on the front page.
Pretty simple here: MOVIES! Keeping 128 gigs of movies is a huge deal for some people. Also, people who have those absurdly big iTunes library. I personally find 32 gigs to be perfect for my needs not only on my tablet, but on my phone as well, but that is just at this point in time, that may change in a year or two.
Wonder how this will sell? The price tag though seems excessive considering the relatively cheap price of storage these days.
Wish I could afford it. My entire library is in Apple Lossless. Not a super huge library, but in lossless format, it still takes a bit of space. Currently I have to let iTunes convert down to 256kbps when syncing.
