Finally, the solution to my mobile charging needs: the Belkin Mini Surge Protector with USB Charger.
Coming soon from Belkin this small device offers surge protection for your laptop and devices when you travel and also has two USB charging ports! You should be able to charge many cell phones (like the Razr or Blackberry) and devices like iPods right off the USB ports eliminating the need to keep your computer awake while your devices charge. This should also be nice if you want to leave the computer behind but still need a way to charge your iPod (it’s been a long time since iPods came with 110 volt chargers.)
Belkin is listing the surge protector with a modest $25 price on their site and list it as “Coming soon”. As soon as this becomes available I’ll grab one and post a review here.

Gee, I was going to buy your Oracle shell scripting book, but now that you mention this gadget, I might buy this instead. 🙂
Besides, you’re giving away all your best bits of the book on your blog for free! 🙂
