So it seems unfortunate that the new iPad has no larger capacity than the earlier ones.

Even more unfortunate is the fact that the older iPads get stuck with this bloatware as well - without even having the benefit of Retina View

So effectively, your 64Gb iPad just became a 16Gb one and your 16Gb one will soon be close to useless. Not all change is progress.

I suppose Apple now release a new 'new' iPad with 4 times the capacity and claim that is the new thing

So let me get this straight. You consider apps that you choose to install and use on your ipad to be bloatware? Just wow. You should take a look at an Android device whether it be a phone, or tablet and check out the bloatware that is there. Those device manufacturers have it installed on those devices and make it somewhat difficult for users to remove them. Apple is not doing that by any stretch of the imagination.

The comment on Android is certainly true.

I have an Android phone which has masses of crap that I can't get rid of and starts complaining about being out of space very quickly if I install a few Apps.

All I was saying is that - according to AppAdvice - Apps optimised for Retina Display are a lot bigger than the previous versions, even on an iPad1 or iPad2 which can't use the better graphics.
