I know I would. We (my gf and I) use it for ebooks, browsing, and playing games (Yatzee, Scrabble, etc), amongst other things. The only thing I dislike is the battery life - typical tasks (browsing, ebook reading etc) tend to draw power faster than the charger can fill the battery.

I probably charge mine once/week with I'd say moderate use.

Interesting - so what's with 10 hours usage without charging? Do you find it true statement after weeks of using the device?

It probably works out to that but because of typically sporadic use it adds up. Games (any, not just graphics-intesive ones) seem use battery life faster though. It does have great "stand-by" battery life though.

I use mine every day and it gets the full 10-11 hours most people are getting for non-gaming activities, somewhat less for gaming activities, and charges way faster than I can drain it (though I haven't tried this while gaming I suspect it'll still be true.)

Something is definitely wrong with your iPad, and you should take it into an Apple Store to have it checked out.
