Power:
- The 3-in-1 POWERGO charger from MacAlly is very handy.
- Only 1000 mAH. But hey it's less junk to carry around,, right ?
- Charge it via 100~240 vAC (50 or 60 hz ??) or 12 vDC
- USB OUT, 5 vDC at 800 mha
NOTE: Works fine on my 1st gen iPhone, but NOT on my 2nd gen iPod Touch.
- I have to contact them and see what's up.

-
The best external battery pack for your buck is the DLO JumpStart:

- Is rated @ 1200 mAH, but it does not seem to be that powerfull IMHO.
-
What a good idea, build the external battery into the USB docking cable !
- Input: 5VDC (USB) @ 500 mAH
- Output: 5VDC (USB) @ 500 mAH
- Capacity: 2500 mAH
