Fair enough.

There's no harm to the battery in letting it get down lower though, rather than having to hassle with the cord when you're at 20%.

Especially if it's late in the day and the couple hours you'd get from 20% to close to 0 would get you to bedtime when you could plug in while you sleep and be ready to go in the morning.

I wouldn't have the problem as most of my work time would still be on the desktop or laptop, and most of my hobby at home time would be on the home theater set up (TV, Sports, Movies, video games etc.).

So the average day my tablet would just get used for a couple hours--some days much more when my workday is full of reading scholarly articles like today has been. But never more than 6-8 hours probably, so I'd be fine with the iPad battery personally.
