I am getting the 16GB models iPads (which were the $499 model), which for purposes now will suffice memory wise. This next shipment of Touches we are getting will be the 64 GB model, as they will not only be an additional Touch for our centers/activity stations . . . but teachers were also wanting a digital camera and video camera for their classrooms . . . so we "went all out" in regard to memory so these Touches can also be used for those various uses. Not sure what the pricing was for that group.
