Apple never mention how much RAM is in their iOS devices. If I had to guess why I'd say it forces more consumers to compare based on things other than specification. The tech savvy know what they're reading and where to get the data, most other consumers don't care, but there is a group who know where to get the data and don't know how to interpret it, who may be fooled by numbers which don't actually affect their use of the device.
As for having features missing in the first version, that's also been the Apple way. Release early, release often. See what the consumer actually wants and complains about and include that in the next version.
I do think that the sync cable still isn't very Apple though. I've been hoping that will vanish ever since iOS devices first had wifi capability across the board.
