iPad Sustainment Cost

A study out of the Electric Power Research Institute says the annual cost of charging your iPad tablet is $1.36.

"The analysis shows that each model of the iPad consumes less than 12 kWh of electricity over the course of a year, based on a full charge every other day," EPRI said. "By comparison, a plasma 42" television consumes 358 kWh of electricity a year."

Not bad.
