That's actually pretty similar to the usage time of the iPad on a single charge.
Another thing that is often overlooked when discussing the iPad's "10 hour" battery life...it really has a decent standby mode (unlike most notebooks)...I find it drains very little power when in sleep mode-its not like you have to charge it every 10-12 hours...unless you are using it for that long actively.
