I don't like the way that companies are doing this now. iPods don't come with chargers, Sony Readers don't come with chargers; it appears that there is a trend to cut costs by assuming you'll be with your PC whenever you need to charge. However, if it keeps the cost down and many people don't need one should it be included?
My dream would be that every device in the world will require the same charging voltage and polarity with the same size of 'jack' to plug into the device. Then people could buy as many as they think they'd need. My digital camera (Fuji), my son's PSP, and my Sony PRS-505 can all use the same AC adapter, I can only forsee me ever having to charge 2 of them at the same time, and that would be while on holiday, so I'm quite content. My problem comes when I realise that I need a different charger for my iPod, my other son's Nintendo DS, my mobile phone, my wife's mobile phone, etc, etc, etc
