Moving On From Stone: Part 4

Battery life is always a wonderful specification that some of us neglect to research (or care about) when purchasing new electronics. Standby time isn’t really ALL that useful as a metric, as it never fully demonstrates real usage. It is surely important for cellphones -with ultra sparse usage, the longest I could go without recharging was a measly 3 days on the Atrix – so for a tablet which

  1. doesn’t fit in my pocket and therefore doesn’t experience the heat effect of being there
  2. doesn’t have a cellular radio communicating with wireless towers

one should probably expect something much, MUCH better.

And indeed it is.
