90% internet use. I've got WiFi always on. I'm perfectly fine (well, it always could be more) with iPad's battery duration. My UMPC, with the same usage pattern, was doing maybe 5 hours.
But I wouldn't want to add reading (*) to iPad, as the battery would drain even faster (even if it's only 2% per hour).

(*) That's reading eBooks. Of course "internet" means reading as well.
