The April 2010 issue of Inc. magazine carried an article by Jason Del Rey titled "Report From the War Zone: On the frontline in Afghanistan, an Army vet launches his start up."
The article tells the story of Bill McNeely, a former Army logistics officer who served in Iraq and then took a job with a defense contractor in the southern Afghan province of Helmand.
McNeely realized there was a need for a solution to the iPhone's short battery life, and he found a way to solve this problem by creating a portable iPhone charger called the 3GPower2.
McNeely started his company from Afghanistan, and you can order his battery at www.3GPower2.com. (His wife handles shipping from their home in Temple, Texas.)
