My 3G hasn't needed to be restarted (yet), but music playback has gone to shit. Tons of skipping.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
did you restart your phone after the upgrade?
It restarted on its own, I haven't done it manually.
do it manually.
A friend is going to be traveling in the Amazon for work. So she is getting a sattelite phone, and solar charger. Since all power for phone and computer will come from the solar charger she is looking for a laptop with extended battery life that can run for eight or tweleve hours off what would be a four hour charge for a normal laptop. General use, not e-reader, but on the other hand super capabilities not needed. First thought was netbook, but it looks like many netbooks actually have fairly lousy battery life. So general purpose lapton (Window or Mac) with really exceptional battery life, and battery life prioritized over other factors. Not that memory, disk space and processor speed are not welcome just that battery life comes first. Um and ability to stand up to hot humid conditions, cause no air conditioning for the next six months, and probably no temperatures below 90 degrees and no humidity less than absurd.
Abacus?
One of those "one laptop per child" laptops maybe? Aren't those supposed to be going to Africa? You'd think they'd build them with good battery life and for heat...It wouldn't be very swanky, but...
Seriously, though, does she know any colleagues who are already down there/came back? They probably at least know what DOESN"T work.
Well there's this, should be good for 10-12 hours.
And then you could buy a couple of replacement batteries. [link]
Macbooks have good battery life, but I'm pretty sure you can't get replacement batteries.
