Arielluria:

Don't exchange that iPad 3 just yet. As I referred to in my post, the charger shows 100% prematurely due to a software bug.

Let the iPad charge at LEAST an hour beyond the point where it hits 100% and I think you'll see the battery life you were expecting. The new takes longer to charge because it has 70 percent more capacity (which it needs to do 4x as much work as it was doing with the iPad 2).
