Seen at SXSW: Mobile phone batteries suck
Smartphones have utterly captured SXSW, and while there are certainly tablets and laptops to be seen, the outlets are ruled by smartphones.

I've seen a few smart folks using USB or plug-in extended batteries or swapping out batteries, but it's clear that folks need their smartphones and that the batteries aren't lasting long enough.
