During a business presentation in Boston on Thursday RIM wanted to reassure consumers about the battery life of the BlackBerry PlayBook, hoping to ease worries about longevity. Senior product lead Ryan Bidan said that the audience didn’t have to worry about how long the battery would last. The goal is still officially to get eight hours, or about a “full day” of use.
The battery is 5,300mAH with a capacity of about a third larger than that of the battery on the Galaxy Tab. To reach that capacity, RIM has sealed in the pack to get as much internal space as possible. No removable battery here. Does this statement alleviate your concerns about the Playbook’s battery life?

Wow…. it’s interesting to watch the industry scramble in panic mode to catch up with Apple. All this pressure will force Apple to eventually lower prices and that will be very welcome. Apple spent years to develop the jumbo ipod touch … I mean …. iPOD. I feels like the competition are all throwing things together in just a huge hurry. It’s very interesting to watch. These are exciting times. Personal computing is in for huge changes. It’s great
Too little too late RIM… LOL you are so behind on the tablet its probably too late…..
