what are you trying to do Carl? it seems like with every valid solution
you balk and want to somehow not carry an extra battery for the iphone,
but will carry an extra one for the other types of smartphones.

i think you'll be shocked at how long the battery lasts in the iphone,
it will be plenty for a flight to mexico... just make sure bluetooth,
3G, wifi is off and you'll have no problem.

if you don't believe me, get a little $4 battery pack, get some lithium
AA batteries and you'll be fine for the flight back as well.
