:Well, to be sure, I couldn't cram my whole 100GBish digital library onto the iPad, but just throwing on stuff I want/need as I go, I'm still a long way from filling its almost 60GB capacity.  I expect storage space -- clouded or local -- to grow perhaps as fast as I can fill it. 

Well, I'm more thinking of Apple's basic design: where they don't even 
have a "Save as" feature in the damn web browser.  Yeah, there's lots of 
ways of bypassing that, but it certainly shows you that Apple really 
doesn't believe in local storage much anymore :-(

(something I've bemoaned in recent iPods, for instance.  Never enough damn 
space!!!)

I'm fully expecting the next gen iPods to try to pull off cloud only, with 
some laughably small amount of local storage.

Thx,
