USB has now become the preferred connectivity option for all new gadgets. Printers, cameras, disk drives, … heck, even cell phones that have traditionally used proprietary connectors are now gradually switching over to USB.

While some of these devices can take power directly from the USB port to charge the device, the large majority do not. But what if you could just take out the battery and charge them from the USB port on your computer?

Well, that’s exactly what USB Cell, a new kid on the market does. These cells function like any other cells, until they get drained. Then, instead of throwing them away or plugging them into the wall via your charger …. you simply plug them into the USB port on your computer, and viola … they get charged.

Great idea.
