If you're on iOS 5 or 5.0.1, check out Settings > General > Usage > Storage for a breakdown. No need to connect to a computer.
The info given in iTunes, at the bottom, where it says ”Capacity ... Audio ... Video 6.6 GB ... Apps 14.9 GB ... is misleading,
because when looking into the iOS on the pad, where it says > ... > Storage, it's not really the apps that is SO BIG, BUT the files which are stored through this one app.
So for example when it says here: my apps having 14.9 GB, it's all the videos which I have in my video player. (And these are as it seems counted seperately from those videos in ”Video 6.6 GB” !
=>In iTunes > Apps > Sort by Size, there you can see the actual size of the app itself, which is correct.
Just to clear this out, and I think Apple should clarify this.
ok folks here is a follow-up:
On iTunes I read that on my iPad I have now only 2.32 GB free space;
and that 73 Apps use 17.21 GB = 60 % of iPad's memory !!!
Then when I counted in iTunes the actual MB of all my apps I get: 3015,62 MB ≈ 3 GB;
so this is very different from 17.21 GB as shown in the iTunes bar.
The Videos on AVPlayerHD take up 11GB, and "Videos" (Apple's built-in; as seen in iTunes) take up 3.79 GB.
Then from this I would conclude that videos are counted "as if part of" applications, i.e. Apples "Videos" and "AVPlayerHD."
So when it is written 73 Apps use 17.21 GB (as seen in iTunes) this would mean, apps 3GB + 11 GB videos (from AVPlayerHD) = 14 GB ;
still an unaccounted difference of 3 GB !!!!
