For reference sake, pn pg.140 of the PFRPG Alpha 3, there are several magical pieces of equipment. In their description, they state that the bonus is temporary until the item has been worn for 24 hours...
I can read that in several ways. Can I get a clarification? While I realize that a cool item that is only good for 24 total hours of use is ludicrous, the statement is pretty vague. Also, why does it matter at all that it is temporary for the first 24 hours? Am i missing something?

Check later on for the effect temp things have on ability scores and compare with the effects of permanent things.
Edit: Later in the document.
The efect is only effective for as long as the item is worn. No longer, no less.
But if you wear them for 24 hours, you've become that used to them, that the bonus is considered a permanent bonus to your ability scores, and so you may qualify for certain feats that require a given ability score, gain bonus spells, or bonus skill points.
But if you remove the item, the bonus is gone again.
Personally, I think it's sufficient to wear the item only in the situations were the bonus is meaningfull. You don't have to wear gauntlets of ogre strength in bed, it's enough if you put them on for practice and combat, so you get used to the additional strength when weilding your weapons and make proper use of it.
Excellent! Thanks for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated.

Gauntlets of ogre strength in bed... LOL!
I could imagine rolling over in my sleep, slinging my arm over as I sometimes do when its hot and I don't rest well... and inadvertantly causing 11 points of damage to my wife... hopefully subdual.
Nope, sorry. Gauntlets are weapons. That puppy is doing lethal damage there buddy. Hope you have a cleric handy. Or, on the topic of equipment, a few potions of extra healing laying about. ;)
