Agreed that carrying an extra cable is easier than an extra set of chargers. However, my Ipod Touch charges in less than an hour (and has its own specialized cable, anyway), maybe once every other day. My phone has like 10 hours of talk and charges in maybe 2.5 hours, once every few days. And the Kindle will be more like three charges a month, and maybe less if I download stuff from my PC and it is charging during that process. So the usage is pretty minimal.

Even my shaver, which is 110/220 for worldwide usage, only needs charging once a month. It is the older kind of battery where it is better to let it drain more each time instead of constant recharging.

I do have a dual USB charger, maybe I should lug that one instead ;-)
