Emergency travel charger plays nice with Palm's Multi-Connector

Oh sure, there's a plethora of portable USB chargers out there to keep most every cellphone around juiced up for one last call, but those handling a Palm handset with the polarizing Multi-Connector have long been shut out cold -- until now. Tech Center Labs has just come to the rescue with its Tiny Emergency FuelCell, which holds a single AA and enables power to be passed along to Centros and any other Palm / Treo device with the proprietary connector. Best of all, the pocket-friendly device is just $9.95 (or $10.95 with a bundled battery). Not a bad way to spend a Hamilton if you're a Palm lover.[Via Palm InfoCenter]

Reason #690882738281928372 why palm is a FAIL. Proprietary connector. Even the RAZR had a mini-usb charger. Yeah the RAZR sucks (now).
That's one thing that I'm not too keen about with the iPhone, but at least it uses USB voltage. One charger with a USB port, and 3 cables charges my iPhone, Blackberry Curve and Garmin Nuvi GPS.
WTF is with the comment system? Just fix it already, Engadget.

Palm doesn't suck. They innovate. Think about it. They make something first, then somebody else just makes it better. Who gets the credit? The other guy. Palm just gets the crap.
