portable USB charger / battery supplement
I used to carry several AC to USB / and auto to USB chargers, plus portable battery packs for emergency power, but I've replaced them with a single device.
I now use a ZaggSparq as a combo USB charger and battery supplement for my micro/miniUSB devices. This product basically combines an AC to USB charger and a lithium-polymer battery pack into a single unit, so you can use it to charge your products at home / hotel, and then use it for portable power when you're on the plane or anywhere away from a charge source. The unit also comes with euro adapter for overseas charging as well.
I've had it for a week or so and it is very handy to only carry one device + my USB cables for charging.
Right now it's on sale: http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggsparq.php usually $99 but now is at $69.99.
Perfect stocking stuffer for yourself or a traveler you know.

I just got this, and it seems pretty awesome.

This seems brand new, but also looks like it's really great for iPhone/iPod touch users:

I don't like devices that are single purpose, ie made only for a particular brand or device.
This is why I like the ZaggSparq - it's for all USB chargeable devices, and it kills 3 birds with one stone - you can charge it, and charge 2 other USB devices at the same time, like my cellphone & bluetooth headset.
