There is definitely less battery life with the iPad 3 compared to either of the previous iPads. It's also the first time where people are actually comparing battery life based on screen brightness settings. This was not an issue with the earlier iPads.

Also, recharge time is hours longer due to the larger battery in the iPad 3. If the 32nM chip in the updated iPad 2s is any example (Anandtech benchmarks show a 15-30% battery life improvement between the old and new iPad 2), Apple will have better battery life in the next iPad.
