Japanese cellphone users only want batteries to last 2-3 days

You'd expect Japanese people to have more faith in their technology,
but apparently not. A survey of nearly 6,500 people on cellphone battery life showed that most recharge their phone every day, since despite the extravagant standby times that makers quote, heavy usage of games, TV, video file playback, videophones and so forth eats up the juice in short order. Strange, then, that when asked how long they'd like their battery to last the top responses were "2 days" and "3 days", both with 27%, with "one week" coming way down at 11%, below "one day" (20%). Why not "forever"? Do these people like charging their phones?
