Why are there Best Buy ad on the inquirer?

For once, enough already!

Why you so concern about playbook battery??? When they released, people will know!

Even if it only last 1 hour, what's that got to do with you? If people want to buy it, they will buy it.

If they don't like it, then don't buy it!!

Sigh! You talking about un-released product, and you want to know small detail for sure!

There is a thing call "WAIT". Learn about that.

What a helpful article!

Except of course, for the fact that you fail to mention that their VP has stated that the battery life "will be equal or greater to the iPad".

But I guess it's more fun to ignore that?

Oh come on, instead of telling the truth that it won't last even the 10hours it deviates from the question by pointing that it depends on usage, bla,bla... We don't expect exact number of hours and minutes and seconds, but I expect them to say: ok it lasts an average 8 or 9 or even 10 hours on normal use. (mail, web, etc). Or even longer, they must have tested it, right.? Or they are like Apple with Antennagate, releasing a product untested...

I guess it would help if you understood standards and specifications. They aren't being vague, they are being truthful. What would you like them to base the number on? You can't answer that question because there is no standard, which is why they can't answer it either. Maybe you could do an inquiry as to why there isn't an industry standard so that everyone can be measured against it. But don't say they are being vague because a standard doesn't exist. Good mud slinging though.
