I agree with the author that battery life, and quick charge times are important. The weight issue is less important to me as I have a gumdrop case on the ipad2 for robustness and have been happy with the trade off of weight for robustness.

It will be interesting to watch what the wireless power transfer does and it is integrated into more things. I think this may make the charge time a non issue. See issue 40 of eeweb http://www.eeweb.com/pulse

Battery life should not be an issue, charging might be one – if you do not use the iPad charger. Sure, charging within 3-4 hours instead of 6-7 hours would be great, however, I got used to charge my iPhone every night and I do now the same with my iPad.
