Apparently our nation's stock exchange would appear to not be as concerned about the iPhone's battery life as you are. http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/...es.oks.iphone/

On another note, I used to be a long time Palm OS user, 5 years over 5 devices (two Kyocera phones and 3 Treos) and I started using FictionWise for eBooks that I would read on the Treos. Last year I got the iPhone and I knew it was just a matter of time before the eBook scene exploded on the iPhone. eReader the company that owns FictionWise released the eReader.app (In the AppStore) for the iPhone that lets you access both your FictionWise or eReader.com accounts and download any books you've already bought. I'm reading Truman Capote's In Cold Blood on the iPhone and its great. You can change the font (3 choices) and the font size and read in landscape mode or portrait mode if you want. The iPhone/iPod Touch makes a great eBook reader device.
