I think this is for handheld, and it will be fun to see what they can come up with, considering that mobile GPU race is in full swing.

That would make sense with the "low power" thing. Preferably, you want your handhelds to have a life expectancy longer than a gingerbread man in a blender.

Yeah...nVidia Shield Tablet (which is around PS360 level) has only slightly more than 2h battery life when pushed to its peak performance. I still haven't seen any info for iPad Air2, but given that it should perform on the same level (and from other specs on battery life) I expect it to be around the same...which is really not that good IMO.

3DS is around 4 when pushed (without 3D), IIRC?

Here's a fairly detailed look at 3DS battery life and how variables like screen brightness, 3D, etc affect it.
