    nice idea.

    would be funny if car batteries could have this feature too. So when you forgot to turn off the lights, just plug in your laptop :)

    Those are a neat idea, though I avoid using batterys other than lithium rechargables in things like the DS or PSP, or that recharge pack in my 360 controller. I don't really see how much they cost though. They have the Funny E symbol but they don't really clarify if thats euros or gbp.

    sounds definetly cool! and 2 AA for 13gbp isn't even that much if you don't forget that this is brand new

    Its probably cheaper to just get a USB NiMH charger and a set of standard AAs, and you get the bonus of much higher capacity (1300mAh is tiny, its so small because about half the battery is taken up by USB circuitry). A standalone charger would charge much faster too

    GBP of course uses the funny "L" symbol.
