Damnit they missed the most important part of the story-- was she using a 3rd party battery or not!? So far cellphone manufacturers seem to say this only happens with 3rd party batteries, so whats the deal here?
Second to that, its only a matter of time before cellphones are banned on airplanes entirely because their batteries are too powerful and can be used as a bomb.
Think about it, laptop+cellphone+iPod battery could do some damage, no? And when the fuel cell batteries start showing up that can hold months worth of energy, I'm sure there will be issues raised and dealt with.
