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.

The real inconvenience would be for those who use an iPad without a computer. For the rest of us (to coin a phrase) backups will occur routinely whenever we connect the iPad to our computer, assuming things work the way they do with the iPhone.
