What capacity iPad would best fit my needs?

[The sympathy of crashing waves]

I'd like to get opinions from you guys on which capacity iPad and iPhone you think would best fit my needs with respect to the activities I plan on using my iPad for. I don't own any mobile Apple devices so I'm not really familiar with how much capacity I might need.

Right now, I'm almost certain to go with 16GB iPhone 4S and 16GB iPad (3rd generation), but, like I mentioned above, I'd like your opinions.


For my iPad, I would plan on using it for:

- streaming movies daily (from websites that offer free movies)
- browsing the internet (Google, different forums, reading blogs)
- YouTube videos (streamed)
- few fun game applications (like Angry Birds, Piano, Garage Band)
- read news with apps like CNN, e-books
- Facebooking, Skype, Facetime



For my iPhone, I would plan on using it for:

- phone calls, texting, very brief internet browsing
- Pandora (non-downloaded music)
- Twitter, Instagram
- Siri
- applications for convenience (Google Maps, traffic applications)
- other misc. applications (checking stocks, weather, etc.)
- checking emails several times daily


I have an 80GB iPod classic, so music would *NOT* be stored on either device. Pictures and files would also be stored on my laptop at home or in a cloud program like DropBox. The only thing that I would maybe store on my iPad would be movies occasionally (but would be replaced daily instead of stored permanently) and pictures taken on my iPad. For my iPhone, the only things I would store on it would most likely only be pictures taken with the iPhone.


Given this information, would a 16GB iPhone 4S and a 16GB iPad 3G seem feasible for me? Or would you recommend me bumping up in size?
