You don't need to splurge to get great battery life -- just look at the 8.9-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HD. For $100 less than the Google Nexus 10 and $200 less than the latest iPad, you can get a tablet that boasts a bright and colorful display, loud speakers and a battery that lasted 9 hours and 49 minutes on the LAPTOP Battery Test. This tablet is perfect for those all-night reading sessions when you just can't put down that brand-new e-book.

The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is a glaring omission…I believe either the international or Verizon version was averaging 10-11 hours of battery life.

That any of these do not have 20 hour battery life for 5 dollars extra extra built in is ridiculous you can put in 3 batteries like high capacity camera batteries each lasting 8 hours cost was 2.00 a battery triple or quade system should be standard 14 to 20 hour system I worked in electronics over 20 years

Notice how ASUS was completely left out of this. Some of their tablets go for even longer than the iPad.

Why didn’t they include the Asus Padfone?
Afterall, it CAN be a tablet and has up to 63 hours of battery life.
