Is your iPad battery better since iOS 5 upgrade?

[iRuthlessPad]

It also depends on the brightness level..Apple fools us by saying 10 hour battery..it's actually on half brightness that u get 10 hours. If most of u use it on half brightness u shud get that much or 8-10% in 1 hour.

I have to charge up once a day, but I use FaceTime a lot. Friends say they can go for 3 day just web surfing and emals.

I have STILL yet to figure out how to upgrade to ios5 working with a windows PC can not get my ipad to communicate with upload instructions

I had sold my 32 gb iPad just before the new IOS became available so I am basing this on 2 sort of different animals. I believe the battery life is much better now. I can play around with my iPad 1 just about all day with out having to recharge the battery.

I operate my iPad with full brightness without using the shut down after a certain time feature.

Never thought of it as worse since i upgraded it to ios5 on the day i bought it. Anyway the battery life is still good for a day's heavy usage. So no complaints here.

I have found a large difference, longer battery life.
