The iPad 2 had a 25-watt-hour Li-ion battery. The iPad 3 has a 42.5 watt-hour battery! That's 70-percent more than the previous capacity. 70-percent more magical battery unicorns, people.
The battery life hasn't changed, however: it's still ten hours of use, nine with average use of the cellular data network. So why the increase? Obviously, that big screen and the more powerful processor are hitting the power big time.

That's great news to hear the battery's so much increased, increased battery is never a bad thing in my eyes.
It'd be pretty nifty to see the ipad's battery life get to about that of an ebook reader's life (one with the e-ink display). Maybe some day.
And they cancel out...but the power is much needed!
Interesting that they implemented this, although the battery life not getting longer is sort a party pooper.
Yeah, I was kind of hoping they'd squeeze a bit of extra battery life into the new one, but really 9 hours is nothing to whine about.
Finally!
