Where Does Your Tablet Stack Up in Terms of Battery Life.

Just Saw this review on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Tablet on Engadget, and thought I'd repost this really great graph showing battery life of every major tablet currently out on the market right now.  The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 holds the top position with over 12 hours of battery life of video playback and 4G LTE usage.  Which, if you own an 4G LTE phone, is no easy task.   So where does your tablet stack up?

Breaking News: New iPads Cannot Charge While You Use Them

Well it seems like Apple has been having a bad week.  First, there have been numerous reports of customers complaining about their New iPads overheating.  The main focus of these reports have been the 4G LTE models, but it still has occurred even in a few Wifi models. Apple also received another devastating blow .  Apparently you cannot use the New iPad and charge it at the same time.  I, myself, did a few comparisons on my Youtube channel and noticed how long it took for the ipad to charge. It took 15 minutes before I began to notice an increase in battery percentage. At the time, I thought the problem was how I was using it, but turns out I was wrong. Make sure you think about that before making any future purchases.
