BlackBerry PlayBook

According to RIM, the battery life of the PlayBook tablet is 10 hours of normal use. Well, what is normal use? Normal use is definitely different for different users. Many times, I have found the battery life of devices to be less than advertised.

With an eye toward getting more use from your tablet, the following tips should help you squeeze every bit of juice out of your BlackBerry PlayBook.
