Less weight than another charger
12-16-03

USB cell phone cable


Little known fact: the USB peripheral ports on your computer (the cables going to printers, cameras, etc.) carry low-volt electrical power. This means you can use the big battery in your lap as a big recharger for a gadget. Globetrotting road-warriors have discovered they can carry one less adapter/recharger by packing this small cable. Plug one end into the USB port and the other into the cell phone. As long as you have power in your laptop, you can recharge your phone.
