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.

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...?
