    The price would have to come down though.

    That's how my mobile works. If I connect it via USB to my PC then it'll charge up over the cable.

    Re: USB Batteries

    Sweet.... but... That's a lot of money for one battery!

    You could just buy a mouse that has a charger built into the reciever...

    I bought my mouse and keyboard with batteries and charger reciever, for $10... And one battery liek that wold cost over $20!

    It's a nice idea, but goofy!
