I've had my iPad for about a week and I'm reading how people are having 12 or so hours with out a recharge. I frequently find I'm struggling to reach this mark. I Charge it all night, don't use it during the day and then after 3:30 I begin to use it. It drops down to 20% (or lower) by 11:30.

Does the battery still need to be conditioned or should I expect this battery life?

This seems to be against the trend as spectacular battery life seems to be the norm. I’d be inclined to take it into your local Apple store and get them to check it out.
