I have no idea how long the battery lasts or really anything about tap but the idea of a portable voice activated unit is pretty intriguing.

I was very disappointed when the dot came with a USB cable and DC plug but it didn't have a battery. wtf. Why not just include an all-in-one charger with USB connector?

Found this in an updated cnet article about battery life:

The only downside to this new feature is its effect on the Tap's battery life. Without the hands-free mode activated, the Tap streamed a local radio station for an average of 10 hours and 8 minutes over the course of two tests. We played the station at 50 percent volume. With the microphone always on, the battery ran for an average of 8 hours and 40 minutes. That's about 15 percent less, but consistent with Amazon's estimates and a fine tradeoff for the extra usefulness.
