So everybody who leaves early in the morning and gets back home late at night and occasionally has some anxious moments before they get back to the charger when he/she has used to the phone's various functions heavily, is a techie? (happens in our family with iPhone3G, iphone 4 and Android phones). Or only techies forget to charge the phone overnight on occasion?

This is a very clear case where Apple made some design choices to reduce manufacturing costs which clearly reduces the functionality of the phone for every user. And they get away with it, which is fine for the Apple crowd.
