If you go to ifixit, you can find a guide and parts for replacing your iPhone's "non-replaceable" battery - they'll have the same for iPad in time.

It's not as easy as a drop in battery, to be sure, but easily doable. I read on other blogs that the physical mechanisms associated with a drop-in take up room that could either have gone toward making the device smaller/thinner or battery bigger with more capacity. Not sure if it's true but interesting explanation from the design front.

I do wish Apple gave you back your same device, just for convenience sake.
