iPads and stuff

Anyone know anything about iPads?

I have an iPad 2 which originally ran off a version of iOS 4.

I then went out and bought a Sonos remote music speaker system. Basically my iPad is the control panel and I sync the speakers with my iPad.

So far so good. I was very pleased to get that far successfully. When I went to use it though, it started to go downhill. Apparently Sonos requires iOS 6. So, I then uploaded iOS 6 which wiped all my existing appsa but that's OK. I just re-downloaded most of them. However, I then tried to sync my iPad with iTunes and lo and behold I don't have enough memory so only a fraction of my library came over to my iPad.

Is my only option now to buy a new iPad with sufficient memory, or is there some sort of cloud solution? I'm guessing I can access iTunes via iCloud and then direct music wirelessly to my Sonos system but quite frankly I haven't a rashers and I'm a complete tech ignoramus.

Is it ok that I didn't understand a jot of that? No criticism of you Stuttgart. Just I have reached an age of no return when it comes to tech stuff and there's no point in me trying to either.

I bought a Blackberry Playbook recently for under a �100. Really really impressed with it for the limited use I have for it.
