I love my new iPhone, but ■■■■ am I frustrated by the battery life. I never had my first-generation iPhone run out of juice, but I have already gone through several cycles on my iPhone. Granted, it’s not really fare to compare the two — I’m doing streaming music from Pandora on WiFi all day now — but it’s still pretty annoying that streaming the music will deplete the battery in three hours.

I remember Systm had an episode about building a portable power pack to put into your backpack. Maybe you could follow that and figure out how to charge your iPhone using it.

But it had a hefty charge, and it was old school. 😃

They have the USB power packs ones for the ipods. I’m sure those would work… can’t really keep it in your pocket to charge though [whisper]2 week stand by time with light calling ftw[/whisper].

Yeah, I guess I’ll either have to bring a charger to work, or not listen to streaming audio for nine hours. 😛
