Anyways if you say the tablet is a PC,running windows 8 how can you use a PC with only 16GB? I mean that if apple combines the iPad with OS X Mavericks,it will be a lot useful with 32&64 GB. I have heard rumors that apple will soon provide a 150 or 180 GB iPad. So it will be a while lot if useful.

Because a 16gb iPad doesn't exist right? Microsoft never shows any 16gb ipad prices only 32gb or 64gb. A 16gb mini cost $329 (refurbished - which is also brand new btw is only $299) but Microsoft knows they can't compete with that price point so they just make it look more expensive by showing higher gb space models instead. Anything running windows 8 btw cannot function properly anyway, why anyone would consider any tablet other than an iPad is beyond me, a tablets purpose is only for entertainment nothing else, it serves no other purpose period and only the iPad offers the best possible experience for that exact purpose...
