Android Superphone - HTC Evo 4G Has Lackluster Battery

The new Android superphone's (the HTC EVO 4G) kryptonite was finally discovered - it's battery. According to Walt Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal:

"...when using 4G, the EVO’s battery runs down alarmingly fast. In my tests, it didn’t last through a full day with 4G turned on. The carrier, in fact, is thinking of advising users to turn off the 4G network access when they don’t think they need it, to save battery life. This undercuts the whole idea of faster cellular speeds."

We haven't heard much about the new iPhone having any battery issues, but let's see how things pan out. You can catch Walt Mossberg's clip below:
