So I'm curious to know what you guys do with your ipad when you're not using it. Considering how Apple states that the ipad has great battery life, do you always leave it on or do you turn it off when you're done?

Since I'm bored...the wife is watching biggest loser...I voted.

The iPad's battery is pretty impressive - I use it - a LOT - but charge it every other day. Was sick for a few days last week - so at home - playing WWF and surfing the net a lot on it - then charged it every day. The battery is, in my opinion, pretty good considering the form factor and utility.

I used to just place it on my desk and let it sleep until the next time I needed it, connecting it to the charger whenever the battery dropped below 30%. Since I got the iPad dock I just stick it in there so it's always fully charged.

Just let it sleep. Only charge it when it gets below 10%. I run it all the way down and charge it back up once a month (recalibrate).
