Burning Man Earth Project is developing a Black Rock City iPhone app for Burning Man 2009. No specifics have been released yet about the project.
UPDATE 1: Andrew Johnstone and Michael Michael will be giving a talk about “Decoding Black Rock City” including the Black Rock City iPhone app at the next dorbot-sf.
UPDATE 2: Burning Man Earth Project has removed the image of their iPhone app and they will not be presenting at dorkbot next week. They need more time to develop the app before they are really to officially announce it to the public.

Iphone will last about 3 hours out there.
Probably would last. I played my PSP everyday last year, even through the storms on Monday and Saturday. It still works just fine.
Hot damm! Now we can track every single piece of moop. LNT!
@real name Iphone touch screens work though sealed plastic baggies.
Just curious — does it mean it also will work on a iPOD TOUCH V2 ??
Ok — the Microsoft flick was one thing, but this is Truly Frightening….
@andy:
I believe the iPod Touch will work, just without the GPS.
