For those of you who have already received your iPads, can you comment on the battery life compared to the Air 1?
 
This post is a bit premature because people just started receiving their iPads about 24hrs ago, their's no way to know just how long its lasting from this kind of usage.

I really doubt someone used their iPad for 10 hours straight and at this point no one can claim 2-3 days of standby.

Wait a few more days to discuss battery life.

I can tell you in 24 hours when I had a complete day testing. Today it felt about the same as my retina mini, maybe a bit better but of course this his highly subjective
 
Currently at 7 hours 45 minutes with 40% remaining. Lots of Safari, Twitter, bit of video etc. It's been a gloomy day so its's usually been at around 30 per cent brightness.
