Again, I have to ask if you've actually USED an iPad? A evening + full day's usage (web browsing and reading) has taken my iPad down from 100% to 78% battery charge. I'd actually call that extremely good!
Totally! I used my iPad constantly on an eight hour car trip and still had 22% battery left when we arrived!

I have to say that one of the features I love the most is the touch screen instead of a mouse. For those of us with "older" eyes, being able to instantly make a web page bigger greatly reduces the eye strain of trying to read the article. Plus since most ads are on the right, by enlarging the page you can crowd out the ads and just have the article visible! I feel like I'm in control!
