New ipad takes 6 hours to charge and you cant game while charging!!

Apparantly it doesnt charge while gaming as otherwise it would get too hot. Thats just epic fail no? :?

Wow, you can't be serious. That's a deal breaker right there. What a massive drawback if that's true. I'm sure iPad's battery is great, but gaming on it will eat that battery up in a couple hours tops. Then you must wait 6 hours to play again? Massive fail. Can anyone confirm this? I was actually thinking of going down to BB to take a look at one of these...

Mine was at about 75% when I took it out of the box new. It lasted a few days with some solid gaming, browsing, ebook reading and (gasp!) some work. I chucked it on the charger in the evening before bed (like I do for my phone, kindle and every other portable device) and while I did notice it took quite a bit longer to charge than the previous model, it obviously won't bug me. Worst case is if I'm time poor, I'll charge half of it and it'll only last a couple of days on the road!

As for playing games while charging, I can't say I've ever done that with any tablet or phone - how inconvenient.
