The problem for photographers is that they are in a very competitive
field. They are always afraid that the next shooter will be able to
offer something that they can't. For news it timeliness and visual
impact (color). It would be much easier to shoot color film and send it
back to where ever the lab is, than to run a whole digital
darkroom/transmission center. It's a lot more gear than was needed for
developing B&W in the hotel sink. The thing is, they know that that's
what you have to do if that's what you want to do for a living. They
aren't doing it because digital is cool.

the guy in the Pop Photo article was much more worried about dust-related failures than anything. one of his three digital bodies died (cause not stated), and one of his solar chargers (from overheating). apparently, he took a stock Mac Powerbook too and not a ruggedized one.
