With 128GB, iPad Hits Surface Pro, Ultrabook Territory

noh8rz10 writes "Holy moly! iPad gets a heavyweight sibling, clicking in at 128GB. This places it in range of storage for Surface Pro and ultrabooks. It's clearly targeted at the professional market, as the press release cites X-rays and CAD files as reasons. Should Microsoft be afraid? Methinks so. Best part, pricing is growing by log 2. Just as the 32GB version is $100 more than the 16, and the 64 is $100 more than the 32, this new version is $100 more than the 64!" Update: 01/29 16:00 GMT by T : Here's Apple's announcement itself.

    OMG! The next logical increment in storage! Genius! I can't believe it! Apple invented 128GB! It'll be years before anyone else can catch up to this!

    I'm waiting for the Samsung advertisement to start...this sounds exactly like someone making fun of a rabid apple fanboi. But the commercial never starts, this is really what the editors thought was the best way to announce that there's a Malibu Stacy with a new hat.

    Except it's not even a new hat, its the exact same hat with a slightly larger brim.

      When you spend your days in a Williamsburgh coffee shop, waiting for your family to send the rent check while you wait for some employer to recognize the value of your BFA in Film Studies, sometimes Apple love is all you have. Well, that and the muttonchops.

    128GB should be enough for anyone.
