It is a major selling point for me. On vacations I don't want to carry one charger per device. Having more devices that can use a common AA charger is a big benefit. On recent long vacations I've brought: * laptop - proprietary charger * digital camera - proprietary charger (no more with the *ist D) * GPS - AA * iPod - proprietary charger * cell phone - proprietary charger * flashlight/bicycle headlight - AA This makes for a massive mess of cables. One less recharger is a big benefit (and would be even bigger if I switched to a MP3 player that used AA... I figure I have little choice with the cell phone or laptop). alex
