I was really hoping that Apple pulled out all the stops for the iPad. Hopefully it has at least as much as the iPhone 3GS has. However, I would think that Apple would up the hardware to 1GB or something. As you say, it really needs a bunch since it's wielding a 1024x768 pixel screen.

In the simulator environment having 3.5 GB of RAM available seems about right. @Dave: That screenshot was probably from the app running in the iPad simulator.

The RAM section showed somewhere around 3800MB's of RAM total for execution. At least that's what I assumed it was for since there was another section of RAM that showed 32GB's of space total. I can't say for sure if 3.5GB's of RAM is available for execution, but considering the size of the screen (as you said) and such. I would have to assume that there was more memory to work with on the iPad. Nick, I saw a screen shot for an app for the iPad that shows all the stats like those for the iPhone.

But given the limited time each tester spends with an app, it's likely that they will miss some issues. This is especially true for memory usage which has a tendency to rear its ugly head only after extensive use of the app. @Michael: Yes, if the app crashes during the approval testing then it will definitely be rejected.
