I have the same one as you describe here but have no trouble with the battery life at all. In fact I took it to England with me and had no trouble at all with it. Just charged it overnight and was all set for the next day. I am interested also in hearing how people will be using it in the classroom. Anyone heard of a good keyboarding program. I am mentoring a teacher who will be using the iPad in the middle school classroom and need ideas. I am so delighted with my iPad.

I downloaded the Attendance App last year on my iphone. It works great on the ipad also. I also had a disc come with my textbooks last year. With Docs to go, I have access to all the material on those disc now. I am also going to look at purchasing Lan School for my classroom. With my ipad, I will be able to use the Lan School Assistant and see what my students are doing on their computers and send quizzes and bring their focus back to the task. Last but not least, I will use it for presentations. My students are always in the community making presentations. With the ipad, we will have a more portable solution to this need. We will also be able to give presentations in one on one sessions with community leaders. I got an ipad a month ago. I downloaded the Attendance App last year on my iphone.
