A tablet device differs from an iphone because the screen would be on most of the time as you use it.

Power is everywhere nowadays but not in some places like buses and some budget airlines, so if I take a reader on a bus I want more battery life.

Your right but this is why apple arent and wont make a reader!

it will be a tablet and as such will run I reckon in the real world for approx 6 to 8 hours the same as a good laptop/netbook would. Which for the majority will be fine..


hey less than 10 days till we find out
