BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet DoA
Under casual use conditions, the PlayBook’s battery held up for close to eight hours, which is on par with both generations of the iPad. With heavy use of Flash-based sites (when they functioned) and 1080p video-watching, the PlayBook’s battery hung in there for an impressive 5½ hours.

Where do they find the retarded monkeys that write for Wired?
The iPad gets 10 hours and change of battery life. (The article is reviewing the WiFi-only Playbook) The Playbook gets "close to eight hours." This means that the iPad gives at least 25% more battery life than the Playbook. How is that even close to being "on par?"
Also, when actually USING the Playbook, he got an "impressive" 5½ hours. When actually USING the iPad (movies, games, etc.), you get 10+ hours of battery life.
All that makes me wonder, was the reviewer pulling for the Playbook despite its flaws?
