And it is not user replaceable. You send in your old iPad and receive another one with a new battery.

Here's the story:

Unless the iPads being handed out are refurbished ones, and not new, this suggests that everyone who wants to can get a new iPad down the road for $99 when their current one gets tired.
Either that or Apple are very confident that their batteries will outlast the machine itself, and so can afford this announcement as a marketing exercise to defuse the 'battery not-user-replaceable' meme.
