Just got myself a new iPad, and loving it.

I'm wondering regarding charging... Is it ok to keep it connected to the charger much long after its completly charged? I'm charging it up now for the first time and im worried that the battery can get too full and have a shortened life.

    My only advice that I have heard before that with batteries such as the iPhone and I would guess the iPad, as well, you should let it totally drain at least once a week and then charge it. I let mine charge overnight.

    Yeah, just make sure you drain the battery fully (at least less than 10% ideally) then leave charging overnight, in the morning, disconnect charger.
