Gary Mayhak of Talestuff.com sent word that his newest product is a USB rechargeable Emergency Charger that can be ordered with Palm Multiconnector, Palm Universal Connector or Female USB connector. It uses NiMH AA batteries (included) but can be used with regular AAs or AAAs in a pinch (but don’t recharge them!). He’s giving away free Palm V / Vx Hard Cases with any V / Vx product ordered on his site. Yes, people are still using V/Vx’s… Actually a friend at work (Hi Ryan), still uses his!

complete.
