I have been in the first batch for Germany, end of May. So I've charged it about 40 to 50 times already.
Maybe the main difference to the usage pattern of the majority is my working habits. I'm in the home office. So I'm either using iPad at home even in working hours (doing researches in the web on the sofa and not at the desk) or I'm traveling and using iPad on the train.
I guess, people who go to the office and don't bring their iPad, don't have much chances to actually use iPad more than, let's say, 5 hours a day. I probably use it about 8 to 10 hours a day. In this time, I'm browsing the web all the time and I'm using it for hours in a row. And I'm downloading a lot. I've downloaded hundreds of Zinio magazines. I have about 200 apps and I probably have tested another 100 or so.
What I'll do: I'll look for a battery tracking program (or whatever this may be called). It should be possible to track the on-time between charging cycles. I've never actually stopped the time. The only thing I know for sure: My battery runs dry almost every day...
