While I learned a lot at ASUG, I didn't really get packed very well for that trip. As I sat in the Memphis airport leaving that Sunday, I realized that I didn't bring the charger for my Treo. When we landed in Orlando, I made a mad dash to a gadget store and picked up a
PowerPod from EarHugger.
Here's what it looks like:

Interestingly, EarHugger doesn't say much about it. I found this description at
21st-century-goods.com:
The PowerPod features:
- Cord retracts into charger for easy storage
- LED shows connection made to phone
- Charge phone while talking
- Charges cell phones from 4 different power sources
- Standard wall plug, computer USB Port, 9-Volt battery and car cigarette lighter
- Comes with 5 adapters
- Most Nokia, Motorola, palmOne Treo, BlackBerry and Kyocera phones
- Folded size approximately 4" x 3" x 1"
You kinda have to know the code that the BlackBerry uses a mini-USB connection for charging (why doesn't everybody?). What that means to me is that I can use the PowerPod to charge my
Plantronics Discovery 640 Bluetooth headset also. Pretty cool.
You can buy one
