I see how this would be a trivial feature to add from an engineering stand point, but it's basically useless for the user.  Why possibly make this USB powered either, it's not like its something you'd want to plug into a laptop and use off the battery as heat pumps generally consume a significant amount of power (especially to effect fluids quickly enough to be worth bothering), and if your laptop is plugged in, you could obviously plug this in too.  The cooling is neat though, I guess.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Streak]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2007 5:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Brando intros beefed up USB can cooler / warmer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/14/brando-intros-beefed-up-usb-can-cooler-warmer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/14/brando-intros-beefed-up-usb-can-cooler-warmer/</guid><description><![CDATA[A can of soup! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sbrown]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2007 6:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Brando intros beefed up USB can cooler / warmer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/14/brando-intros-beefed-up-usb-can-cooler-warmer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/14/brando-intros-beefed-up-usb-can-cooler-warmer/</guid><description><![CDATA[I thought of that, but that's not the right type of can.  I belive that soup cans are generally smaller, and the air around it would prevent it from getting hot enough.  Of course, if it did get hot enough, how would you remove it to eat it without further inconvenience?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Streak]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2007 6:12AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Brando intros beefed up USB can cooler / warmer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/14/brando-intros-beefed-up-usb-can-cooler-warmer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/14/brando-intros-beefed-up-usb-can-cooler-warmer/</guid><description><![CDATA[In Asia they make canned coffee that people can buy warm or cold.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dennis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2007 6:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Brando intros beefed up USB can cooler / warmer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/14/brando-intros-beefed-up-usb-can-cooler-warmer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/14/brando-intros-beefed-up-usb-can-cooler-warmer/</guid><description><![CDATA[Its USB powered because otherwise the most expensive part of this is the AC/DC converter. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mw]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2007 9:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Brando intros beefed up USB can cooler / warmer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/14/brando-intros-beefed-up-usb-can-cooler-warmer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/14/brando-intros-beefed-up-usb-can-cooler-warmer/</guid><description><![CDATA[a nice thermos seems a far better idea for keeping things warm.

Still I don't think I've ever run across tea in a can that wasn't meant to be drank cold (Iced Tea, as those in the know are calling it) although widespread adoption of this and similar devices could change that (It seems I've fallen into a cyclical hole, Oh dear!)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Streak]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2007 6:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Brando intros beefed up USB can cooler / warmer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/14/brando-intros-beefed-up-usb-can-cooler-warmer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/14/brando-intros-beefed-up-usb-can-cooler-warmer/</guid><description><![CDATA[Again, please realize that this device was made in Japan, which has various coffees and teas (milk teas, herbal teas, green teas) available in cans which can be served warm.
