iPad has only 256MB RAM!? WTF?

Being I have now spent about 3 hours using an iPad, I can say without question... who gives a shit how much ram it has in it?

A netbook has 8x the ram as a PS3, so it should play Heavy Rain better! Right?

It's an amazing tablet, and everything I want to do on it, it does beautifully (save one thing), so the amount of ram it has is irrelevant.

As for multitasking with such little ram, a jail broken iPhone can multi-task a dozen apps without running out of ram. A real OS knows how to manage memory. My guess most of you who care about ram, are used to Windows.

Oh, and the single complaint I have about the iPad (and the iPhone), is Safari on it will not let me reply to posts on this site, The editor does not work in Safari, and Apple will not let other browsers play. BS choice. Let FireFox on the damn thing.

Firefox is a great browser but a complete resource hog. Apple may have added the limitation for that reason.

Also, I was told that multitasking on the iPad unavailable (regardless of how much RAM it has)?
