Interesting differences between the Engadget review and the Verge one. Note that your 'hard time saying anything unequivocally good about this thing' comment doesn't apply to the Verge review, where they consistently praise the device itself. As noted in your quote, they are saying that it's the Google tablet ecosystem that still falls short against the iPad.
And is battery life really poor? Worse than an iPad certainly, but the low Engadget score seems at odds with the experience quoted in the Verge review, which lists it as 'great battery life' in their round up as one of the good features, along with the 'fantastic display, fast, smooth performance, and good speakers'.
