I find running the MacMini headless in conjunction with either a MacBook Pro or iPod Touch running VNC software or screen sharing drains the battery of either the MacBook Pro or iPod Touch much quicker than if screen sharing or the VNC software were not running.
I'll be interested to know your experience with the iPad. I suggest buying the version with the better battery life.
