The downside of Blackberries is their fantastic drain on battery power if you use all their functions fully - wifi, 3G access, sorting of files on transfer. I found that my Blackberry Curve 3G's battery charge lasts for about 2 - 3 days on a single charge if I use all its functions fully. At 1150mAh capacity the charge drains pretty fast. I have to turn off wifi and 3G if I don't need them to extend the battery charge. If the Playbook is typical of BB products I think it will drain the battery fast, too. But I read that its battery capacity is 5300mAh! So it will solve the problem of battery drain but downside is that its battery is non-removable!

Battery life is short because data are transmitted 24/7 if you are connected to BIS.. If without data it last for 3-4 days...

I heard the news today morning saying that the Playbook battery can only last 2 - 4 hours. So RIM should do something if they wanna compete with ipad.....

which news? any source?
omg 2-4hrs is

They are on low processor how could it last for so short period...

mind linking the source.
nowadays battery life is one of the most important aspect in smartphones and other gadgets

Source are very important in every words we tell... Further internet news can't be too reliable until we try the device ourself...

yup =)

any idea when it's releasing in Malaysia ?

In between Q2-Q3...

eh ?
