When the processor is using all the current, there is none left to charge the battery. Perhaps this is a third party opportunity for a larger power supply.<br /><br />We'll see if this shortcoming is a significant issue for many people, but I suspect not. After all, ya gotta take a break some time. That's when it will charge.<br /><br />Make fun of the iPad's sealed battery if you like.

I guess that rules out the iPad for 24/7 gaming.<br /><br />I predict this news will have approximately 0% effect on the device's popularity.Brettnoreply@blogger.com
