I would like to ask about. SGT battery life let's say compare to iPad , I am thinking to get another android tablet but my main concern is the battery life itself. I am very satisfied with iPad battery life I can say. With heavy usage for gaming and browsing I can get around 9 hours straight till 10% , how about SGT ?

@benny888 so you are saying the battery usage for SGT and iPad are on the same level right? Thats pretty good if 7 hours batt life for heavy usage. My iPad has been serving me well though it has some limitation.

Confirm can reach 7 hours ++ on heavy usage.

I own a nexus one running cyanogen rom with tons of widget running constantly , even with 3G turned off the battery life was horrible. The juice merely last me 4 hours with heavy usage. Even standby mode the battery drops at 3% rate per hours. Thats my only android experience but I see SGT is doing good in this aspect. I am thinking to get another tablet which can do more than iPad and SGT is one of my choice currently. The nexus one bringing a nightmare to me for android as I am kind of road warrior and not often has access to charging source. I don't really believe what Samsung claim whatsoever, I prefer some end user experience.
May I ask how you define your " heavy " ?

I doing a lot of multitasking , if running on android of course I will be sticking all my screen with widget ( hourly update ) like weather, news, twitter, fb, rss etc. I will be using it ALOT for browsing like 4 hours, watching flash video, IM like MSN and WhatsApp running. With also some gaming session let's say 2 hours.

Actually I prefer Android over iOS but what attract me to iPad is the battery life actually. hmm.gif
Your input are much appreciated biggrin.gif
