These tablets are at the top of the class when it comes to packing a long-lasting battery. Battery life is the one feature that truly affects all other aspects of a tablet's functionality. Let's be real: if you run out of battery life, there's not much you can do with a dead tablet. Here is a list of tablets that lasted the longest during CNET Labs' tests. Before the test is run, we put the tablet into Airplane Mode and adjust the brightness down to about 150 candelas per square meter. We then run a looped 720p version of "Toy Story 3" and track how long it takes until the tablet's battery dies.

Faster networks, more "free data" and a dismantling of net neutrality rules could be in the works for 2017, Trump may be an unpredictable president-elect, but that won't keep us from trying to peer into our crystal ball, Here's a list of the top 7 predictions for mobile in 2017, Thanks to Trump's victory, you're likely to see more services that are zero-rated, meaning the wireless data for a specific service doesn't count against your cap, AT&T's new DirecTV Now service is one example, with AT&T customers streaming as much video as they want despite their data limits, Verizon has done the same with its blue hexagons and diamonds iphone case Go90 video service, T-Mobile has BingeOn, but argues that it's different because it offers the no-data perk to outside video services like Netflix and YouTube, not just its own..

Comcast is also expected to launch a streaming TV service next year that will be available to anyone over the internet. This could be zero-rated on the home broadband side, as well as on the wireless service. While customers are happy to take the "free" data, critics warn that such practices stifle competition. (If you're happy with DirecTV Now, why would you try anyone else?) That could ultimately lead to higher prices for consumers and fewer innovative services. The outgoing Federal Communications Commission chairman, Tom Wheeler, has been skeptical of zero-rating offers. Earlier this month, the agency went so far as to accuse AT&T of violating its net neutrality rules by offering the zero-rated DirecTV Now product. But with Trump FCC appointees in charge, net neutrality is likely to be dismantled and zero-rating will likely face little to no resistance. This could mean more creative forms of the practice in 2017.
