I'm gonna get me one of those newfangled USB-based PSP chargers too. Seems to be the best solution. Relying on the USB connector to charge a Reader is simply not smart. For example, I think the old 500 model won't charge from a computer's USB connection unless the Sony Connect/Library sw is installed. So charging from a friend's computer is out. I don't know why they 'sort of' made USB charging an option, even though it doesn't work using many usb-based charging set-ups. OTOH, the new model doesn't even include a PSP-type charger 9and nowhere does Sony mention that you can use one--instead, they want you to buy their pricier and bulkier "official" Reader charger.)
