And yet, a short period of working with some large apps shows that, in fact, it isn't quite so good at all: from Safari pages refreshing to apps "paging in", the lack of ram is clearly present once one starts really working with iOS devices.

I look forward to the new device showing a new day... but I'm not holding my breath.

Apple's always been weird about ram. They're the last place to upgrade ram across product lines - but the first to dump peripherals/connectors like optical drives and headphone jacks.

Most manufacturers are. I bought my laptop 3 years ago with 12GB of RAM and now the best I can get in a similarly sized model is 16. Sad.
