I Decided to order the 64 GB version. I wanted all the space I can get so I will not have to run out of space so soon. It will save on putting on movies and taking off too often. This way I can leave more content on the iPad without worrying of filling up the iPad. So I went all out!!!
I agree with the poster that talked about their pricing model. 16GB I can understand if it's enough, but I don't understand 32GB at all. To pay $100 for another 16GB but not pay $100 in addition for another 32GB is a bit puzzling.
Also, I don't think seeing how full your iPhone is is a good way to look at iPad capacity. That would imply you are going to use your iPad just like your iPhone, I don't have any movies on my iPhone but I certainly will on my iPad.

Apple would have been cooler to release two WiFi models:
$499 32GB
$599 64GB
Or if they had to do the 16GB they could have gone with:
$499 (16GB), $549 (32GB), and $599 (64GB)
But its first gen...
I ordered a 64GB one. I went with low storage to save $$ on the original iphone and regretted it. :/ Decided to go all out since I'd actually be playing video on this thing! I've run out of space on my 16GB iphone so I can see space filling up quicker.
Thats what happened to me on my first iPod Touch. So I decided to go all out on the iPad. I will not regret it this time. It is better to have more than enough than not enough any day.
Apple loves this way of thinking. For me, I'm on a tight budget. Without being too constrained, the 32gb model works best because I can put a lot of data on my iPad. Then, I can use the $100 I didn't spend on apps and accessories.
While on my treadmill, along with a gooseneck stand, I watch movies on my iPhone. It works great. Also, I believe the iPhone does give a good view of how much storage one would use. That doesn't mean that you will put the same data on both. For my iPad, I will use more for videos, books, and apps; on my iPhone, I use more for music.
I was originally going to get the 16GB, but I changed to a 32GB. I reckon some iPad apps are going to get pretty big...
I always refuse the lower capacity models as I fill them up too quickly, so if I were buying one, I'd go for either 32 or 64. 16 would be far too small for me
16gb 3g
I have 300GB+ of music, TV shows, movies. Not worth trying to get "some" on the device. Just what I want at the time.
I'll use mostly for reading and some games.
For movies/tv shows. I may have 1 or 2, but with Netflix, it won't be many. Also Air Video for stuff I have ripped at home.
As far as music ... I've got Pandora/Last.fm. I may keep certain playlists/artists on their at all times.
Hopefully developers will be mindful of their app size.

3g 64
Was stuck on 32 and decided what the hec - only a hundred bucks more. Probabaly never ever need 64 but it is now a done deal!

I don't know how to do polls. Can we get a poll that distinguishes between wifi-only and wifi+3G, please?
Wifi/16
Wifi/32
Wifi/64
Wifi+3G/16
Wifi+3G/32
Wifi+3G/64
I am curious and I think others would be too.

32, and I usually max out memory and am not price-sensitive. I just doubted I'd need more than 16, so to be conservative, I went up one size to 32 just in case.
I am using about 10gb right now. I could fill up 32gb or 64gb if I wanted to, but it would be with stuff that's useless on an iPad, eg my entire music library, a bunch of episodes of Mad Men I've already watched.

I originally had the 64GB iPad with WiFi; didn't use it much, and I realized I only used about 5GB of space.
So this time around I went for the 32GB model; costs about the same as the 64GB WiFi; also I fear that I may want to put a few videos on and the 16GB would have been too small. I don't have music or videos on the iPad right now, so only about 5GB is used right now.

I contemplated with the 32 and 64 3G all of yesterday, even made the concierge switch between both models three times after I got in the store before I finally decided on the 64.
I couldn't justify not spending $100 more to get double the capacity. And I plan to use this just like a net book, sans webcam.
And I won't have to worry about hiccuping 3G connections if I do want to stream video - it will already be stored on the device.

I'll be mainly using the iPad for school work (e.g. English essays) but I'll be putting probably quite a lot of iPad native apps and some videos and TV programmes on there. Would I be able to get by with a 16GB iPad?
