Went for the 32GB Wifi in the end. You can by a Wireless 500GB harddrive that works with the Ipad2 for not a great deal more than the additional cost of the 64GB Ipad2.
Spent all day trying to get my laptop to recognise it. I wasn't aware but the firewall on my antivirus (Norman) was set not to recognise the Apple Mobile Device service (Never had a problem with it recognising other Apple products). It wasn't an Apple S/W problem but spent forever on the phone to Apple, who seemed more concerned about collecting my personal details and chewing up my current PAYG mobile credit than sorting out the problem. Disabling the antivirus services strangely led to my Wifi cutting out, again appears to be a conflict with the antivirus S/W.
Ended up getting a really helpful tech support guy from a regional third party sales office of this particular antivirus to help. Really nice fella stayed late to help me reinstall the S/W and get it sorted even though the support I have is not covered by him.
