[CAUT] using as ETD

[John Ross]

Just tune it between calls.
I saw a car charger for the iPhone, at Winners the other day for $6.99.
I got a 110v one for the same price, as I have an inverter in my vehicle.
Just got the iPhone, I probably will never use 90% of it's capabilities, but 
I just love new toys.
I see that the TuneLab app is only $299 at the iPhone store.

I'm concerned about battery drain on my iphone.   By the end of a long day, 
I have 40 to 50% left, but TuneLab would probably mean I'd have to charge it 
during the day in the car...?
