Charge your NiMHs via USB

Every once and a while a company comes along with something so clever, innovative, and just plain cool that it makes me laugh out loud. That’s what happened when I read about the USBCELL. As you can see from the picture to the right, these AA batteries charge from a USB port. Never again will you have to worry about taking a battery charger with you when traveling. What a great battery to use in your wireless mouse and keyboard!
The USBCELL is currently only available in the U.K. but will soon be available in other countries.

I was hoping that someone would release external batteries that could plug into the USB to supply extra battery life to notebooks
Except that the Apple wireless mouse will not function properly on 1.2v rechargeables... I know, Ive tried.
