[QUOTE=SA Spyder;26992694]Except you don't have those 60MB free. With everything closed, you have about 100MB on the iPad. Having a couple of Safari tabs open and then some apps puts that down to fucking nothing, and then apps start closing in the background and Safari tabs start reloading, and god forbid you've jailbroken your device, it'll run like ass. For anybody that's used an iPad extensively for long enough, 256MB is clearly not enough, especially since the OS takes 150MB of it anyway.[/QUOTE]I agree. Even on Safari I can run that bitch down. I have to respring every five minutes. None the less, I hate my iPad and I'm selling it for a HP Slate. I need the Windows, iOS is too limited for that type of setting.
how. I mean what are you doing to it? mine runs fine with safari open and 5+ tabs, and other apps open in the multitasking tray. You're exaggerating considerably. Using a jailbroken ipad as your tool of debate is hilarious considering how apple doesn't support it at all. It's your fault if you muck it up by doing that not apple's. I've not even once had an app auto close while it's sitting in the background.
Run DocsToGo, along with email, Beejive, and Safari tabbed to hell and it will reduce ram to slim. M not using jailbreaking as a crutch for reducing ram. That's stupid.
[QUOTE=The Magic Man;26992320]You make it seem like having 256 MB of ram is the end of the world. Yeah ok 512 gives you the ability to have more things open, but lets say you have an ipad, and a couple of apps open, and you're taking up 196 MB of ram. Now, you have 60 MB of ram free. with 512 MB of ram, you now have 312 MB of ram free. What is that ram doing?
Nothing.
Unused ram is wasted ram.
To be perfectly honest, I don't like having more than 5 apps running at once on my ipad, and not because it slows it down (because it doesn't), just because I don't like having them open. It's like cluttering up the task bar in windows. I only ever have a couple of applications open on my computer because that's all I want. Just because I can doesn't mean I want to. At this point (note: not in a couple of years) 256 seems perfectly reasonable for a platform like iOS which is designed itself to not use a lot of ram. I'm not saying there's no point to having more ram, just at this point it will make it more expensive to produce for a not-so-big impact.[/QUOTE]
when did i ever say 256MB ram was the end of the world? i'm not even saying that 3rd party apps not being able to access the second 256MB is a bad thing. don't put words in my mouth.
and it's funny how you idiots keep rating me dumb when you actually seem to be completely misinterpreting what i'm saying. this forum is a shit hole :)
Flight Control $0.99, Lemonade Tycoon $0.99, SimCity Deluxe $0.99
Galaxy on Fire 2; probably one of the best games on ipad

windows is absolutely terrible on a tablet; no matter how much microsoft pushed for 7 to be. if you can't stand iOS' limitations anymore, wait for a honeycomb tablet or the playbook, or even the webOS Slate from HP.

world of goo x1000
also if you have a capacitive stylus you should get autodesk sketchbook
