I've been voraciously reading the reviews that came out last night and I came across one review that addressed this concern:

So, I suppose that using my iPhone charger to charge my iPad will not really work. It takes about twice as long to charge my current iPad with my iPhone charger as it does with the iPad one. I don't really mind since I just leave it plugged in all night (we have a charger tucked into a place we put our keys with just the cable sticking out). But if this one takes even longer, it might not be 100% charged by morning.

If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong.
