your friend is right when it comes to old style rechargeable batteries but that train of thought doesn't affect newer ones. as long as you let it drain completely once a month you should be ok. charging everyday seems excessive though if only for unnecessary power consumption since the iPad battery lasts so long.

I charge my iPad everyday (overnight) even if the charge is still good. My friend argued that this will affect the lifespan of the battery. I tried searching the site http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html about this and I couldn't find the answer to this issue. I know that "For proper reporting of the battery's state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down)".I think it should be ok to charge it everyday since I always have my iPod docked to an iDecco which effectively charges the iPod continuously. So far I haven't had problems with its battery.Any ideas?
