yeah, i was just thinking about that too and i'll have to call B.S. on this. He must be a paid informant for ATT/Apple, they do have them everywhere nowadays (media, blogs, etc). Everyone who has ever played with an iphone hands-on knows that it is somewhat of a battery hog. Its better than most WinMo phones are, but no better than a BlackBerry. He maybe got through a day, day and a half tops with moderate usage, and I use the term "moderate" very generously.

Any news, especially news of this nature, gets told so many times that by the time it reaches the end of the pipeline it's pretty ridiculous.

The only thing i cant comprehend is the battery. How did it keep going? Maybe he was trapped near the only working outlet in haiti with a charger.
