Cell Phone Charging Gadget for PCs
I got this as a gift and like it very much. It is made of plastic; the casing is so light and convenient to carry in my handbag or my portable computer (PC) bag. It comes in many colors and looks like a key chain. It is used to connect my cell phone to the USB port of my laptop (or desktop) computer. With this, I can just charge my cell phone from the USB port of any available computer. Please refer to pictures for more details.
While the phone is charging, the end that plugs in to the USB port will light up. If the light is out, it is not working or not plugged in properly. This gadget is very convenient to use when you are working at the PC. You can still use your cell phone with a headset while it is charging. Another great feature is that your PC does not need to be running while the phone is charging.
Be careful not to lose the middle insert (black) that has the loop attached. Without it, the two ends can’t be put back together again. Please refer to the pictures. What I do to keep all the pieces together is to thread either end of the charger through the loop while it is in use.
This gadget may be as useful to me as it is to you. You can find it at many online stores.

I have a Samsung SGH-A412 phone with USB cord and software for file transfer/sync/etc. I hadn't thought about taking the cord with my notebook. But it is better than carrying the brick, since it charges when connected. Thanks for the reminder. -- Ed (in Oz)

I'm a little unsure as to what this has to do with IH. That aside, the description would be more useful to readers if you mentioned the name of the product somewhere in that post, so anyone who wants one might have a chance of finding it, or even finding out if it fits their phone. Also, it's spelled "lose" not "loose", and squeezing full-screen pictures into postage-stamp sized spaces, instead of thumbnailing them, is evil.
