Of course the iPad batteries are not easily user replacable which is a major downside to the whole thing!
Why don't you think anyone can compete with this?

It's a battery, and an OS and a chip, all optimized for power savings. There is no reason why others cannot achieve this, the same way Android phones have similar battery life to the iPhone.
