Eco USB (echo echo echo)

It's a battery, no it's a USB--- it's a USB battery!
Huh?



One of the best uses yet of a USB is not the desktop lava lamp, not the USB vacuum cleaner, and not the USB boxing ring, but the eco-friendly and ingenious rechargeable battery, USBCELL.
Use it up and then pop it into any USB port and recharge.
No cumbersome charger to tote around (just your cumbersome laptop).
But if you're like most of us, you're never too far from a computer!
Even the airports now have USB ports built into the computer-friendly seats and laptop stations.


They will be soon available in all sizes AA, AAA, C, D and 9V; and also with the mini-USB connector. The uses are boggling since I can foresee recharging the battery and then using the mini-USB connector to emergency charge my Dash cellphone which uses the mini-USB.
