yeah…that’s a little crazy huh? I guess I’ll be in line!
And the big question; the RAM memory…. speeding up is nice…..; but the memory could also be collapsing faster…
Does anyone know the RAM size for iPad 2?
Hi Francis,
yes, the iPad 2 has 512 MB of RAM but keep in mind that RAM and such really doesn’t mean much with these new devices since it’s more of a question of how your experience is with it….
