I also use my iPhone as my iPod - I have a car charger/audio adaptor cable in my car, and at my desk I have a nice logitek speaker that keeps it charged as I play audio - it's an older version of this: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakers_audio/ipod_mp3_speakers/devices/4320&cl=us,en $90 at Costco - worth every penny. I drop it into this when I get to my office. For the rare time when I'm not around power, I have a Richard Solo backup battery: http://richardsolo.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=326 Got it on sale for $40 - since I usually only need it when I'm on travel, it's nice that it has a laser pointer and flashlight built in - double duty. I think I used it once to charge the phone, all the time in meetings as a laser pointer. Other then that I just keep a retractable USB iPod cable I got for free at a trade show with me and plug it into my laptop if I'm in a pinch. The nice thing about it using the iPod dock connector is they are pretty ubiquitous - although I would like it if it had a standard mini-USB connector too - one less cable to carry. Annoying, but not fatal since all other aspects of the iPhone make up for that one shortcoming.
