<p><pre><code> My iPhone did not save me, God and the prayers of tens of thousands of His people did. </code></pre> Was it the same God that caused/allowed the disaster in the first place? Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with iPhone.

Way to sensationalize and exploit a human tragedy. Way to trivialize suffering.<p>:-(<p>Of all the stories, both happy and sad, you choose to publicize the one about one of your own, and his gadget. If 200 thousand people didn't die, I would be all ears, listening to how vacationing business man used his iPhone to evade death.

For the cost of an iPhone, you can save a lot more than one life. Donate right now!<p><a href="http://clintonbushhaitifund.org/" rel="nofollow">http://clintonbushhaitifund.org/</a><p><a href="http://awe.sm/helphaiti" rel="nofollow">http://awe.sm/helphaiti</a><p>etc.

Come now, everyone knows the iPhone battery wouldn't last 55 hours.

The NBC Article has more detail about the apps that the man used while under the rubble and how they helped save his life:<p><a href="http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local-beat/Earthquake-Survivor-Says-iPhone-a-Life-Saver--82081602.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local-beat/Earthquake-Survivor-...</a>

It's like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
