It all depends....if the Playbook and a phone are the only devices you own, then perhaps going "bigger" might be better. My iTunes library does not to be on my Playbook in its entirety. I have the music I need on the PB that I care to listen to when I'm doing some reading or surfing the web away from home, or sitting outside on the porch. My home PC stores whatever photos and videos I might care to save, and besides, I don't see a reason to stock the Neflix library in its entirety on a PB unless I'm somewhere in Kandahar Province or Ice Station Zebra for an extended stay. Game apps, well, let's just say I'm not into playing games period.
So, what size do you need, it depends on how you really intend to use it, and whether existing devices in your possession would simply negate the need for a tablet pc.

I'd base your purchase on whether you want the extra storage or not because with how easy it is just to swap out half a dozen movies at a time as you need them (movies are the only media files that will use enough space to matter either way) you'll never actually need more than the 16. I've got some gameloft games on mine, quite a few apps, and a ton of ebooks/ecomics/photos and I still have about 10 GB spare for movies. Music stays on my phone because I like my music source small and portable for car docking or pant pocket.
By the time movies and apps start hitting file sizes larger than they are now, you'll be into an entirely new generation of quad core tablets. I say go with the 16 for the pittance price they are right now and you won't feel financially married to it. $200 is a throwaway I-don't-care price that frees you up to switch it out faster without feeling like you didn't get your money's worth out of it, which in my mind is the most important factor of all. I could toss my PB aside in 6 months and not regret the $200. I spend that on coffee at work in 2 months. It's a win-win
Either way do yourself a favor and don't let anyone fish-hook you into believing you need 32/64. you really don't. Whether you want it or not is a different story.Last edited by omniusovermind; 12-21-11 at 10:20 AM.

You seem to be on a strange campaign here. Curious about the motivation.

What kind of person does that? Just kidding I already know, the question was facetious. He ditched his PB for a piece of crap tablet and he's on a rampage trying to justify it to himself when in actuality he knows inside he chose wrong. Sorry You blew your wad on a P.O.S. Lyn, but get over it, take your meds and move on. Get this through the first couple of skull layers: you're not going to convince anyone to join your hate parade just to make you feel better.Glad you're happy with your other devices Any chance you could allow others to be happy with theirs?

So i think I will just go with the 64gb and not have to worry about if I went with a smaller size. Thanks for the input guys/girls.
