Yeah, when using my girlfriends iPad I tend to get 8-12% down each hour with various tasks--reading, net surfing, streaming video etc. Definitely in the 10-12 hour range.

I have a few issues that keep me from wanting to buy my own. But battery life isn't one of them. 10-12 hours is plenty for me in a tablet. 8 hours or so is my threshold. As long as I can get a work day out of it and just plug it in every night or two I'm golden.
