iPad Shipments Estimated at 1.2 Million Per Month as Samsung Tapped for Additional Displays

That's all well and good, but I'm personally waiting for the iPad to come out with 512MB RAM before I buy one. The iPad as it is now is crippled!

I'm not saying that having more memory isn't good but, have you already used an iPad? Would you still think the same if you didn't know how much memory it has?

Edit: I just realized how "fanboy-like" my comment seems to be. I'm just asking these questions because I've used one before (I don't have one) and I was actually pretty impressed by its speed and overall performance. What it does, it does really well.

Samsung are not producing IPS displays, are they?

If that's true, some iPad screens are going to be IPS, and some PVA... Screen lottery ;)

How so? I haven't run into RAM issues using mine. More RAM is always better, but my iPad is in no way sluggish. The only RAM related issue is reloading "tabbed" pages. when switching between them.

Yes, I have already played with an iPad for a couple of days.

You won't be able to use any of the new apps coming out, like say Apple's iMovie for iPhone, which makes more sense on an iPad than an iPhone, ie when Apple puts 512MB and a camera on the iPad. The iPad 1G is planned obsolescence.

So much for Forrester's "iPad sales will plummet" prediction.

Definition: "Crippled" -- What I have might be less cool than something somebody else might have, or less shiny, or not as new. "Crippled" has no direct relationship to usability, functionality, or value. :rolleyes:

Eh that all depends I guess. I didn't buy it with the intention of using iMovie because, well, that product didn't exist when I ordered mine. For my purposes, my current iPad serves me just fine. My laptop is collecting dust because browsing around the house is a better experience on the iPad, and thats one reason I got one.

wow - two days and you are an expert on the iPad and how it is crippled. I guess I better put mine on ebay :(

Memory supply is also constrained... Perhaps that is the reason why Apple chose to equip the ipad with only 256MB of RAM? Think about it... If both the ipad and iphone were equipped with 512MB of RAM supply would be constrained not only by display production but memory as well. I see it as a fair trade off to keep up with demand. An ipad with 512MB of RAM would be nice, but then again so would an iphone with 64Gb of solid state storage. Apple obviously could not do both at the current price points so they chose a compromise. Even with this compromise both the iphone and ipad are struggling to keep up with demand at the current price points.

Fear not the next iphone will sport a 64GB option and the next iPad will be equipped with 512Mb of RAM, a faster processor, camera, and perhaps an even better screen.
