What is the maximum sandbox size on iPad?

Tags:

I'm writing an iPad app that acts as a media player (video and photos). I know there is a 2GB size limit on apps, however is this the size limit on an app when downloaded? Or the limit on the size of your sandbox throughout the life of the app? For example what if my small app later on downloads various media files to its sandbox that put the user over 2GB total (app + downloaded media)?

Thanks!

There is no limit to the size of your sandbox other than the remaining capacity of the device itself.

I did a little test last night, and my sandbox was over 8 GB when I finally called it quits.
