If you are needing a 2nd charger, this thread isn't for you.
If you are buying it purely for the 6ft, this thread is for you.

This comes with the same 10watt power brick the iPad comes with, but adds a 6ft cord to reach your iPad. (the usb to 30pin cable is also included).
I Discovered this on accident when i noticed the seam on the power brick was a little loose. I yanked it off and realized it was removable. Presumably for foreign adapters to be shipped with international iPads. But i noticed when it was pulled apart, it had a fairly common power port on it. I stopped by my local RadioShack, where they sell them for $7.99. Once i got home to check it out, it works perfect! So if you are looking for a longer charger for your iPad for whatever reason, stop by your local RadioShack and grab one of these for 7.99.

In your local store, they should be in a section somewhat similar to this.
This is the one you need. Note the catalog number, 61.210, or bring your brick with you to the store.
This is the brick pulled apart.
Thsi is the power cord you will purchase
Thsi is what it looks like plugged in
In use
And as you can barely see(yay crappy iPhone 3G camera) it is charging.
