Our iPad2 is 6 months old and used daily for web surfing, e-mail and light gaming. I go days w/o needing a re-charge. I guess we are just not POWER USERS.

I do recall one business trip where I did all of the above plus watched a 2 hour movies and listened to an hour of music and 12 hours later when I checked into our hotel my battery was showing 60% remaining.

So for how my wife and I use our only iPad2 I just don't think about battery life. It works.

PS: Since we will have an AAFES (military BX) 15% off coupon good until June 30th we plan on buying the new iPad3-HD, but this time we will buy the 32GB/Wi-Fi vs our 64GB/3G. After living with our top of the line iPad2 for 6 months now we found we don't need 64GB or 3G.
