Yep that's right, Apple have discovered a new way for the sheep to be sheared of their cash.
Priced at £639 for the WiFi model and £739 for the 3G/4G version.

But do you really need all that space? Bearing in mind that you'll lose around 7GB in translation and another 10GB for the iOS install, you're left with around 110GB of usable storage space.

My music collection is 400GB so even this mighty monster is inadequate by a large margin. So how do I manage my music on my iPad? I don't I use http://www.subsonic.org and stream my music to my ipad from anywhere in the world.
If it's movies you want, then http://projectswithlove.com/streamtome StreamToMe is what you're after. I can stream 1080p video in real-time from my Pc to my iPad. Stream to me also covers music and pictures. So again thats 3 ways to save storage space.

Another way is cloud storage, I use dropbox and while you cant install apps using the dropbox app, you can store them on the dropbox server and download them later at work or on holiday... if you have access to a Pc that is.

Seriously though, do you need 128GB of storage on an iPad?

Look at it as Game Storage and Apps.
Other than that, you can buy portable Wifi harddrive / Storage devices.

500gb or w/e win win
Just watch the battery life on them and you can carry all your music around with you

Yeah there was a GoFlex drive I looked at last year, but it's expensive, it has built in wifi, but it won't install apps.
£150+ for 500GB and all it's good for is music and pictures and some video, and I hear it's poor at some video formats.
