Shams - if the iPhone is roughly 2x faster on the CPU than the PSP, and 2x faster on the graphics chip as well, that would make the iPhone about as fast as a PS2. Due to that, the internal 1200mAH battery would last in the ballpark of 1 hour. As doubling the speed more than doubles the power consumption. So you would have between 1 hour to 2 hours of gameplay. Better bring a battery jack, and an ice-pack for the burns it will leave on your hands.

Except that:

1/ It uses a different CPU, which has specific "low power consumption" features. Its actually a lot closer to what a DS uses.

2/ Lower power use screen.

3/ No disk drive.

Software can also set the clock rate that the machine runs at.

See the link I posted above for more details. From what i have read so far, people are *very* impressed with the power use. Its actually coming out better than Apple claim.
