The 500 definately needs a computer with the appropriate driver installed. That can be Connect, Ebook Library, or Libprs500's driver.

The 505 is supposed to be able to charge from USB using almost any USB. But I cannot test this as I do not have a USB plug not on a computer to test it.

If someone wants to get me an iGo mini USB plug, I'll test it with my 505.
