With the amount of traveling we do these days as well as the huge number of functions crammed into most devices released in recent memory, it goes without saying that battery life is of utmost importance. All that running around and staying connected ain’t something we all like either, as the office requires us to be contactable at (nearly) all times. With that in mind, it is no surprise to run out of juice sooner ...
