[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1220442, member: 145676"] I don't know about that Bob. I do have my iPad plugged in whenever I am at my desk. Unlike my computer the iPad is really good for drawing apps. Anything with a touch interface. The real power of it comes from being able to interact with objects on a touch screen. Also the note taking interface is much better - which is just another touch type interface. I guess I am arguing that anything that is better for pad/paper is a better experience on the iPad. Plus on top of that I have display pad - so my iPad becomes a 3rd screen while plugged into a power supply while at my desk. But I guess you and schweb's point is don't worry about the battery. I was just arguing that the iPad, even plugged in, is a lot more than a big iPod touch. Sorry for the rant I've been hearing and reading the big iPod touch thing quite a bit, especially with the playbook launch. Anyway - we've had an iPad 1 since October and need to charge it nightly. This is because of heavy movie watching by my kids. If it is only parental use with web surfing it easily lasts 2 days. I am with everyone else in this thread - use it on battery - it lasts forever anyway. Besides there is always replacement service.
