What's the claimed battery life on these iPads? Probably won't get near the claimed battery life as is with most rechargeable products under REAL WORLD usage and conditions. It also doesn't look like it has a battery you can swap out for a charges spare, either.
Wow, that's pretty darned good. Too bad ALL rechargeable batteries wear out. Too bad the iPad will essentially become a disposable product (unless you want to be tethered to the wall all the time) when the battery dies OR you have to pay some ridiculous repair charge to get it replaced. :upeyes:Someone in one of the iPad threads on GNG said it lasted about 12 hours so far without a charge. Pretty decent I think.
And it isn't a swappable battery.

Well, they wanted it to be thin, so I can see a non-user replaceable battery design, but I still think it was a mistake. I won't own a cell phone without a user replaceable battery. In fact, I really won't own ANY portable electronic device except for a bluetooth earpiece or something small/disposable without a user replaceable battery. The only thing I have like that without a swappable battery is a Garmin Nuvi GPS, but it spends 99.9% of its life when being used in the car cradle externally powered by the cigarette lighter.And while I think not having an easily replaced batter in the iPods and iPhones is lame, the industry seems to be moving that way at least in regards to mp3 players, so so be it.
