Captain Hindsight Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 My girlfriend got 16GB IPad for her graduation and were are discussing whether or not it is enough space for music/pictures ect. My mom has a 32GB but she downloads a lot of apps for her business and doesnt have much music. So far my mom hasn't had an issue with the memory. Anyone have a 16GB? Is it enough memory for you?
The Poojer Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 does apple offer cloud storage? i purposely went with a lower storage droid device because i use google music to store my stuff in the cloud rather than on the device...naturally with the cloud you need to be connected to a network so you'd need a data plan or constantly finding wifi...on it's own, i'd blow through 16 gig of music in about 10 minutes...

I think apple charges for their cloud stuff.I love my nexus 10. Everything is on the Google servers or my own network drive which updates every night. My cell sends pictures to my personal network. I have a router from net gear that allows a HDD to be connected and host files' etc. If the cloud is not available I log in to my network
Philly McButterpants Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Apple offers a service called iTunes Match. All of your music is stored in the cloud. I can access all 60 GB of music on my 16 GB phone. I don't use the iPad for music, so 16 GB is more than enough space. Oh, but the iTunes Match does cost $24.99 per year. Well worth it IMHO.

Chef Jim Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Hell with the iPad stuff. Her graduation present? Middle school or high school?
The Big Cat Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 I have a 16GB iPad, and it works just fine for me BECAUSE I don't use it to store my music. I use my iPhone for that, and since I'm never 10 feet from that, the redundancy is unnecessary.

Was just scrolling to get to the reply box so I could post exactly this. 16GB iPad here, I have a bunch of apps on it, use it a lot, and still have about half the space left. All my music is on my iPhone, and all the video for the iPad is streaming. Or if I do want to listen to music via the iPad, I just use Pandora or another streaming service. With all the extra space I have, I guess I could even keep 4-6GB of music on it if I chose to. She should be ok with the 16GB.

We have a smart TV also, and I have my Mac mini hooked up to it with a wireless keyboard/track pad. Hulu plus & some generous friends with Netflix streaming/HBO GO/Watch ESPN and I've got everything I need sans cable.

I only have an 8 GB i-phone, and have been terrified about putting my music on there. I assume you have to be connected to a network or wifi to listen to music from itunes match?
C.Biscuit97 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 As long as you stream and don't download. But I have an iphone 64 and have almost filled it. Of course, I have close to 6,000 songs & 300 podcasts.
