It comes with 10 cell phone adapters and takes 1 AA battery you get 30-60 minutes of talk time depending on your phone.  the 10 adapters include a mini USB and many other brand specific adapters.  they also have an iPod/iPhone unit.  They also make a 2 battery unit with 8 adapters that will give most phones a full charge. I haev one and I love it.  <br><a href="http://www.turbocellcharge.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.turbocellcharge.com</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greg Baz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 28th 2008 2:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/iogears-aa-powered-gearjuice-gives-you-15-more-minutes-to-yap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/iogears-aa-powered-gearjuice-gives-you-15-more-minutes-to-yap/</guid><description><![CDATA["We'd probably go in with lower expectations just to be safe."

As of this writing, I don't think I saw any diagrams or manuals indicating you can protect the mini-USB end..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sodakar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 29th 2008 2:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/iogears-aa-powered-gearjuice-gives-you-15-more-minutes-to-yap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/28/iogears-aa-powered-gearjuice-gives-you-15-more-minutes-to-yap/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nothing new!<br>I sell similar chargers with a couple of cables (also with mini-USB) for all the recent cell-phones.
