Imagine being stuck with a device that only charges via USB (such as some MP3 players), but you don’t have a computer handy. Novodio’s USB plug lets you draw juice for your device from any wall socket by integrating a female USB connector into a tiny wall-charger. It sold with iPod and iPhone-compatible cables, or a car-charger connector.

No menu of the 20 uses over 21 pages,
so I read only 2 pages,
but would otherwise probably read 8 pages.

Lol, what everyone needs: Drink warmers and coolers, an usb shaver, and fan. Be on a boat fishing, chillin', emergency work call, get a quick shave, be on the road. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an usb iron and usb electric toothbrush out there.

Those CoolIT things don't work worth a damn. Google it.

They do what they're supposed to do. They keep cold drinks cold (as long as it's in glass or a can). If you're expecting it to chill a warm drink or make a room-temp drink cold in seconds, you're looking at the wrong category of device.

Did you not see the DOTS at the top? Like a normal Toms Slide show. Was able to navigate all pages just fine using those, even has thumb shots of the page if you hover your pointer over dot.

I like the miniplug, usbcell (battery - what type is that, AA or AAA) and finger mouse.

Bah!!! These gadgets are nothing compared to the electric car I use for commuting to work daily. Yes, you guessed it -- it recharges overnight through a USB port for only a few pennies.

I agree with magicandy about the CoolIT Chillers. They will keep your drinks cold, even an hour or two later. But it doesn't really bring a warm drink down too ~40 F

Personally I modded mine with a 120mm fan instead of the dinky 40mm in back, and is much cooler and quieter. (I was bored, and the fan on it had started to make noises. lol)
