    Even when the Wi-Fi or 3G (especially) is used for five minutes, the battery % is reduced by 5%. Come on! And trust me, other companies are even worse! The active hours of any person has to be around 8 hours a day and promising gadgets such as this has to last at least that much. Buying an iPad for such a huge price simply to turn OFF Wi-Fi, 3G, Airplane mode, location services, brightness and similar goodies is rubbish.
