Hello all,

I am new to this forum, and I have a challenge for you guys.
I am building an application that needs a tablet that has:

- Very good battery life (users will be walking around, browsing the web own for around 4 hours, ideally more);
- 5 to 7 inch touch screen;
- WiFi access w/ full screen browser;
- Ideally cheap (I have to buy more than a dozen, so price is an issue).

I do not care about the resolution, the 3G, the android version, the processor, the memory, etc.
I bought a very cheap MID 7 inch tablet with Android 2.3 to test (55$ on PriceAngels) just to test, I didn't expect much. Everything is exactly as I want, but the battery life (around 2 hours, not so bad for the price).
I also thought about plugging an additional battery inside or outside the device, but I would prefer a tablet with the appropriate stock battery.

Would you be kind enough to share your experience with Android tablets with me?
Thanks a bunch!

These both seem like very good recommendations.
As price is an issue, and that I don't really care about the processor and HDMI port, wouldn't the Paladin or Tornado be a better choice than the Elf II?
Thank you for your answers!

Hi Verrat, if the processor and HDMI port is unnecessary for you, then you can choose the Ainol novo 7 Tornado. it's really a good tablet for under $100. Good luck! :)

Are there any chinese tablets that can come close to 9-10 hours of battery life?

For example, Engadget has a table of battery life:
