Just pick up a VEC414S inverter (slightly larger than a cigarette pack and has ac plus usb) or an ac/usb wall chargeror a usb battery pack...or a micro usb powered pocket hub.

Re: charger for the n800
I would strongly suggest a usb recharging solution using cable from BoxWave or JavoEdge. BoxWave's cable provides sync/charge (charge is 'cracked' out dc plug from usb power pins) and JavoEdge is charge only. Using this I can get charged 100% on N800. They work excellent via ac/wall xformer or usb hub. I have all my crap recharging via retractible cables (pdas, 720p camera, mp3 players) and it's quite the kewl solution. I hate having to lug chargers around and now just carry my master Tumi universal power supply and a small handful of charge cables...plus one regular usb-mini for when I am charging/sync'g off of computer. I also carry a regular usb extension cable and a special usb-dc adaptor for the cameras and other 5v stuff.

Re: charger for the n800
My Boxwave has been flaky... I've had much better access with the Proporta Mobile Power pack which can charge all my gear and do it while connected to my laptop (being charged itself) or on the go from my gadget / laptop bag and in the car.

Re: charger for the n800
My results are different. My BoxWave cable for my 8525 actually is usable with my Motorola S9/820 bt headphones and my Holux lipstick gps. I bought 2 usb battery packs...APC and JavoEdge. The APC is ONLY chargeable via regular usb cable whereas the JavoEdge battery (same ah I think) recharges with either sync/charge cable or just charge cable. The JavoEdge also has an eyelet at top so you could (hang on...I know this is uber-geeky) attach it to lanyard around your neck and use your phone/camera/etc. while recharging. I like this versatility a lotand my wife really likes the new setup (passing wife test is always a good thing) as there is less crap everywhere and it actually looks kinda sorta elegant. My phone has like 4 radios on it (gps, ir, wifi, cellular, bt) and sometimes you never can be sure if your battery is going to last. It's good to know that with a minimal amount of stuff I can never again have to worry about running out of juice at critical moments (miss the camera shot, etc.). cheers, mike Jonathan Greene wrote: My Boxwave has been flaky...
