I use a USB mains adaptor to charge most things when I go away on trips (mobile phone, iPaq Pocket PC, iPod); all they need is "voltage" rather than anything "smart" at the other end of the connection.
Naw, if it was software controlled, it would not work on a Mac, which does not have the Sony software.

I actually tried it with a simple generic USB main adaptor and it worked fine. yes, I'm fearless with my PRS505!
