Seems the old iPad 2 took long enough to charge up, but the new one's battery is what, 70% larger? Ugh. Just thought of it now, and it'll be a minor adjustment, I'm sure...

Anyone else wondering how long it's going to take to charge the new iPad up?

I guess it depends on individual's usage patterns, but I've never had to recharge my iPad during the day. When I got the first iPad I remember running it 10 hours straight just because I was so excited. But in reality I may use it on and off about 4-6 hours a day. I then leave it charging overnight and I usually have 40% or so left anyway.
For the amount of time it will take me to transfer all of my apps onto the new 64gb one (my current iPad 2 64gb has 6 gigs free), I bet it will be fully charged via the USB port by then 
That's going to be the antsiest hour and a half ever for me, haha!
That being said, I could probably stand to remove 2/3rds of the games I have on there until I'm actually ready to play them.

First world problems. Have to spend 200$'s extra for space on an iPad because there are too many .99 cent games on there haha
TOTALLY haha. AppShopper is my nemesis for catching wish list games on sale that I never play.
Oh God, I hope not! It sucked having to buy multiple new chargers for my other iPad; I'd hate to have to do that again.
So the old one was said to take 3 to 5 hours to fully charge from the included charger. At 70% greater capacity, that's another 2.1 to 3.5 hours, so 5 to 8.5 hours to charge... Assuming nothing else changes.
And I agree about the charging overnight, but for whatever reason, I usually throw my onto the charger at around 50%. I guess I like to make sure it's charged and ready to go if I want to read all evening or something. Maybe I need to relax and let go

If it comes with a new charger, you should still be able to use old iPad 2 chargers, they will just take longer for a full charge.Oh God, I hope not! It sucked having to buy multiple new chargers for my other iPad; I'd hate to have to do that again.
