Even if you DID back it up your personal data it's still on the dead iPad so you'll have to trust whoever the lowest bidder is for servicing iPad's happens to be at the time not to use your credit card acct to supplement their income. 
It's a great deal for Apple but kinda sucks for their technopobic customers cause it's really not that difficult to pop the case and swap that battery. |
Not being an iPad owner, this begs the question; how do you back up your personal information on a device that doesn't support USB? WiFi? 3G? Granted, all you media should be in iTunes, but what about other stuff? And if you say there isn't any "other stuff", that begs another question; why not?
I've never heard anyone talking about backing up an iPad, or iPhone, or iPod thouch either for that matter.
