Mobile Mac Tips: USB Power
Mac portable-toting travelers know that one of the best things you can do to save limited packing space is eliminate the wall wart chargers that come with so many gadgets and replace them with USB charging cables (particularly Ziplinq style retractable cables). That way you can charge your devices from your MacBook (Pro) or other Mac Portable. However, you can take this to the next level with two very convenient devices. The first is a combination USB AC Wall charger + cigarette lighter adapter, like this VersaCharger Pro from Boxwave (I actually have the similar Emerge ReTrak from CompUSA I got for $20 and which came with a retractable cable for my Treo). Throw one of these in your bag with USB charge cables and you can always charge your iPod, phone, or PSP in your hotel room or rental car.
